Do Something for This World, Save Some People

Within the forbidden area, the spiritual mist surged like a tide.

The roar of the distant waterfall, the chirping of birds in the forest, and the rustling of the mountain wind through the pine needles blend together to create the unique morning rhythm of this forbidden land.

Morning light filtered through the mist, casting dappled and soft shadows on the cave abode's stone walls.

The light in Qin Nanyue's bedroom was still somewhat dim.

The warm lamp powered by the Spirit Stone on the stone wall had turned off by itself, leaving only the faint morning light streaming in from the window to outline the edge of the bed.

Qin Nanyue, who was fast asleep, let out a low moan with a nasal tone. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Her eyes still held the dazed and confused look of someone who had just woken up; her pupils were not yet focused.

However, when she saw Lu Yang's gentle and handsome face clearly, she instantly sobered up.

Memories of last night flashed through my mind like a revolving lantern.

Every image, every detail, was so clear that she wanted to bury her face in the pillow and never look up again.

Her handsome and spirited face flushed red almost instantly, the blush spreading from her cheeks all the way to her ears.

Looking at Qin Nanyue in his arms, who was blushing so deeply that even her neck was flushed, Lu Yang's eyes flashed with a hint of doting affection.

He spoke softly, his tone gentle and affectionate. "Good morning, Nanyue."

Qin Nanyue snapped out of her daze, buried her face in Lu Yang's chest, and mumbled a low "Good morning."

The voice was soft and delicate, completely different from her usual crisp and decisive tone.

Seeing her reaction, Lu Yang grinned mischievously and whispered in her ear, "The morning's rising purple qi aura is a good time for cultivation. How about... another round of dual cultivation?"

Qin Nanyue's body stiffened abruptly.

Almost instinctively, she shook her head repeatedly, a flicker of barely concealed fear in her eyes. "No!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized she had been too blunt and abrupt in her refusal. Blushing slightly with embarrassment, she added, "Let me rest for a few days and take it easy."

Lu Yang chuckled and reached out to ruffle her messy hair, "Just kidding."

After all, he's not some kind of devil.

Qin Nanyue's first time lasted so long, she must have felt uncomfortable.

They need to be allowed to rest for a few days.

Qin Nanyue realized she had been tricked when she heard Lu Yang say that.

She glared at Lu Yang angrily, her bright eyes filled with both annoyance and coquettishness. "Junior Brother Lu, you're so naughty!"

Lu Yang chuckled and patted her back, "Alright, get up."

Qin Nanyue nodded, and the two got up and dressed.

Qin Nanyue then noticed the mess on the bed and in the bedroom. The blankets were crumpled up, yesterday's clothes were scattered all over the floor, and the air still carried the scent of last night.

Her face flushed instantly, and she hurriedly cast several Dust Removal Techniques to wipe away the traces one by one. She then opened the window to let in the fresh morning mist, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

As soon as Lu Yang and Qin Nanyue stepped out of the bedroom, they saw Jiang Shiqing standing by the door.

She stood with her hands folded in front of her, her posture gentle and composed, and it was unclear how long she had been waiting there.

Qin Nanyue stopped in her tracks, frozen in place, completely unprepared for Jiang Shiqing to be there.

Her pretty face immediately turned bright red, and she opened her mouth, completely at a loss for words.

Etc...

This guy is actually here, doesn't that mean she... she knows exactly what she did last night???

I had previously made sarcastic or overt remarks to her several times!

Although relations between the two sides improved considerably afterward, meeting under these circumstances now would be a complete loss of face for him!

Qin Nanyue wished she could turn around and run back to her bedroom on the spot, slamming the door shut and refusing to open it no matter who called.

Jiang Shiqing noticed Qin Nanyue's extremely embarrassed appearance, and a half-smile flashed in her eyes.

I'll bully her again later.

She turned to look at Lu Yang, a hint of affection and infatuation flashing in her eyes, and said softly, "Young Master, I've prepared breakfast for you. You haven't had a proper meal since leaving the sect these past few days, have you?"

A gentle glint flashed in Lu Yang's eyes.

My own little maid is so thoughtful.

He smiled and ruffled Jiang Shiqing's hair, "You've worked hard, let's eat together."

"Mmm." Jiang Shiqing nodded obediently.

The three of them entered the hall, Jiang Shiqing naturally took out various Spirit Cuisine from her Storage Bag and placed them one by one on the stone table in the hall.

These Spirit Cuisine were carefully selected by Liu Yaoyao from the market early that morning.

Spiritual grain steamed cake, jade lotus seed soup, vegetarian buns filled with red sesame seeds... and several plates of perfectly marinated spirit beast jerky.

As soon as it was placed on the table, a rich and mellow aroma filled the entire hall.

Qin Nanyue couldn't help but swallow.

She had used up so much energy last night, and the aroma made her feel a little hungry.

But...

She secretly sized up Jiang Shiqing.

The personal maid was setting out the bowls and chopsticks in an orderly manner, her movements gentle and skillful. When serving Lu Yang porridge, she even tested the temperature of the rim of the bowl first.

She glanced again at the gentle look in Lu Yang's eyes as he looked at Jiang Shiqing, and a thoughtful expression crossed her mind.

Should I... also learn to take care of this big pervert?

After all, she was now his dao companion.

Thinking about this, Qin Nanyue felt a little insecure again.

After all, she was the legitimate daughter of the Qin Household, and she had maids to take care of her since she was a child, so she didn't have to worry about anything, from food and clothing to housing and transportation.

She has never taken care of anyone before, and she doesn't know if she can do it well if she really has to.

Hmm... I should learn from Shiqing properly from now on?

Now that we're sisters, Shiqing should be able to teach her, right?

After Jiang Shiqing arranged the table full of Spirit Cuisine, Lu Yang and the other two took their seats one after another.

The three sat around the stone table, the morning light streaming in through the skylight and falling on the steaming bowls of porridge, making the breakfast feel warm and peaceful.

Jiang Shiqing glanced at Qin Nanyue, who was still deep in thought, smiled slightly, and said with a hint of teasing, "Nanyue, you should eat more. You must have been exhausted last night."

Qin Nanyue: "????"

Her face, which had just regained some of its former beauty, instantly turned bright red again, with even her neck and earlobes turning crimson.

What kind of talk is that?!

Is this something that can be said directly?

I was even thinking of learning from her...

She's lucky she doesn't make fun of herself!

She didn't say a word, just kept her head down and drank her porridge, pretending to be dead.

Seeing that Qin Nanyue didn't respond, Jiang Shiqing couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

I was hoping to tease this girl a bit.

After all, this girl had previously thought of her as a vixen.

Now look what's happened, I've become a vixen myself, haven't I?

However, since Qin Nanyue didn't speak, Jiang Shiqing didn't continue teasing her. She just smiled and put a piece of spirit beast jerky into Qin Nanyue's bowl.

She looked at Lu Yang and said softly, "Young Master, I've gotten to know Senior Sister Yaoyao recently. I heard you knew her before?"

Lu Yang had originally planned to mention Liu Yaoyao to Jiang Shiqing.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Shiqing brought it up first.

Lu Yang chuckled and nodded, saying, "We have indeed crossed paths before."

He asked with some curiosity, "How did you meet her?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiqing recounted her experience of hunting the Jade-Scaled Snake at Azure Moon Lake, encountering Liu Yaoyao who begged for help, and rescuing Liu Yaoyao from the Evil Cultivators.

Qin Nanyue, who was standing to the side, stopped pretending to be dead after listening to Jiang Shiqing's account.

She put down her chopsticks, frowned, and a look of worry appeared on her face. "Evil Cultivator at the Golden Core Realm Golden Rainbow Sword Sect?"

Jiang Shiqing originally planned to take this opportunity to mention to the young master that Liu Yaoyao wanted to see him.

However, Qin Nanyue was, after all, her sister, so she naturally wouldn't ignore Qin Nanyue's question.

Jiang Shiqing nodded slightly, a serious look appearing in her eyes, and said, "Yes, it's at Azure Moon Lake. I heard Elder Mo and the others say that the Golden Core Realm Evil Cultivator seems to have someone behind him, possibly a sizable organization."

Hearing this, even Lu Yang couldn't help but frown slightly.

To be honest, Lu Yang's attitude towards the Bandit Cultivator was not too bad.

Treasure hunting and murder, in the final analysis, is a struggle for interests. Although there is harm, it is relatively controllable.

However, Evil Cultivator and Bandit Cultivator are completely different concepts.

When Lu Yang first transmigrated to this world, he was filled with curiosity about the cultivation Immortal Realm. Ever since he was able to read and write, he has enjoyed reading historical biographies.

The Lu Household was just a minor Aristocratic Clan at the Qi Refining Realm, so their collections were naturally not very extensive, but they did have quite a few miscellaneous books that did not involve Cultivation Practice Method or Law Technique.

After all, these kinds of miscellaneous books are quite cheap, and the elders in the clan would occasionally buy some as primers.

Lu Yang basically looked through everything.

These historical biographies also contain some accounts of Evil Cultivator.

Every large-scale calamity caused by Evil Cultivators is a tremendous upheaval, accompanied by the fall of countless cultivators.

Lu Yang himself was naturally not worried.

After all, he had so many Nascent Soul Realm bodyguard puppets around him, and he also possessed the two god-tier skills [Power of Money] and [Heft of Money].

Even if he encountered Evil Cultivator at the Spirit Transformation Realm, he would not be a threat.

However, he was not alone.

He spent his entire childhood and adolescence in the Lu Household, experiencing the warmth and affection of family.

With so many cultivators in the Lu Household, even with Nascent Soul and Golden Core Realm bodyguard puppets watching over them, it would be difficult to ensure absolute safety should a calamity befall an entire prefecture caused by Evil Cultivators.

Besides the Lu Household, there are also Lin Ying, Jiang Shiqing, Qin Nanyue, and Mu Yunxue...

They were all his dao companion with whom he had consummated their marriage, so Lu Yang naturally had to consider their safety.

Lin Ying, Jiang Shiqing, and Qin Nanyue have two Nascent Soul Realm bodyguard puppets and one Golden Core Realm bodyguard puppet, so their safety is relatively good.

Mu Yunxue, however, didn't have as many protectors.

In addition to these, there are their Lineage.

If Evil Cultivators become rampant and cause disasters, the immortal cultivation clans are often the most vulnerable to the impact.

After all, once Evil Cultivator reach a certain scale, their desires will expand infinitely.

The meager rewards from ordinary Rogue Cultivators are far from enough to satisfy their appetites, while established cultivation Aristocratic Clan of a certain size become easy prey in their eyes.

If Lin Ying and her Lineage were destroyed by Evil Cultivators, it would likely be a huge blow to them.

Lu Yang naturally didn't want to see them suffer such a blow and be so heartbroken.

Putting aside Lu Yang's subjective feelings, once Lin Ying and the others suffer such a huge blow, it will have a significant impact on their state of mind, which will be detrimental to their subsequent cultivation.

This will also directly affect the progress of the Beauty Cultivation Plan.

Besides them, there were also the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, Su Jinxuan, Liu Yaoyao, and others who treated him with great courtesy...

Lu Yang's ties to this world are growing deeper, affecting more and more people, and naturally he hopes that this world will be as stable and peaceful as possible.

Not to mention, he had received a communist education in his previous life.

As the saying goes, "When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven."

He is not a saint; he lacks the magnanimity and ambition to benefit all under heaven.

However, within his capabilities, he naturally hoped to do something for this world and save some people.
