The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

Ju Yunxiu froze, her lips still pressed against Qin Yi's, without any reaction for a long time.

I was so engrossed in the moment that I didn't even notice anyone approaching... cough... that damn Qing Cha didn't even watch the door.

Li Qingjun came running over, hands on her hips, glaring angrily.

Ju Yunxiu slowly sat up straight, coughed twice, and elegantly smoothed her hair. "If I said this was a treatment method... would you believe me?"

Li Qingjun's face flushed red as she glared at her for a long while before slowly saying, "Is this a unique treatment method of your Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, Painting Sect?"

Suddenly, everything became clear to her. Why was this place so strange? Why couldn't she understand the other party's Technique Method? Why did she feel that they were gentle and kind, yet there was a strange hostility and rejection about them? Why were they so furious with their pursuers that they killed them without hesitation?

Because this is the Senior Sister that Qin Yi had been searching for everywhere without success, without a doubt!

I was just too tired. If I were in better spirits, I probably would have thought of it much earlier.

But this is too much of a coincidence. She just happened to blast her way out of the Blood Nether Realm. Who would have thought that the first island she saw would be where Senior Sister Qin Yi was? It's such a coincidence that even if someone claimed to be Senior Sister, one should question it. It's even more inappropriate for one to make wild guesses.

Surprisingly, it really was true...

Ju Yunxiu didn't want to hide it anymore. There was nothing to hide anyway. She didn't know where her bad taste came from in the past. Qing Cha didn't even understand it.

She said without changing her expression, "That's right. You can ask Qin Yi if he often says that he needs his Senior Sister to kiss him after he falls down so he can get up. That's our standard treatment."

Li Qingjun: "..."

This must be a protest, right?

I just want to punch Qin Yi, who's sleeping right now, right across the face. What kind of immortal cultivation are you doing in the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace?! Dual cultivation technique?!

She took a deep breath, her expression quickly turning into a smile, "So it really is Senior Sister. My Husband has received a lot of guidance and care from Senior Sister in the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace, like a teacher and a mother to him. Qing Jun thanks you on behalf of my Husband."

Ju Yunxiu was also seething with anger.

Isn't she supposed to be a tough, chivalrous woman? How did she learn these subtle, cunning Palace Intrigue? And what's with that expression of a wife meeting an elder? She's acting like a teacher and a mother figure, why don't you just say you're serving tea to your master?

Ironically, this was something that Ju Yunxiu had once struggled with; in a practical sense, she was indeed her teacher, and their relationship was one of teacher-student romance. Qin Yi had done a lot to help her resolve this issue...

However, Ju Yunxiu no longer had any lingering doubts about this matter. Instead, she slowly said, "Indeed, it often feels like a mother's love, and this child likes that..."

Li Qingjun was stunned for a moment, and her pretty face turned red again.

This is not easy to understand at first glance, but once you do, it will be a devastating blow.

How could this seemingly elegant Senior Sister be so lewd? Was there something wrong with my previous understanding of well-bred ladies who were skilled in Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, Painting?

After holding back for a while, Li Qingjun forced a smile and said, "I see. I'll trouble Senior Sister to feed me more often in the future. I heard it's quite nourishing."

Ju Yunxiu's eyes widened, while Li Qingjun remained expressionless.

Qing Cha huddled by the door, trembling. The atmosphere inside was terrifying, like dark clouds gathering in the sky, threatening thunder and rain...

After a while, no lightning struck, and the two women sighed at the same time, "Forget it, it's pointless."

Then at the same time, he said, "Big pig's trotter."

The two looked at each other for a while, Ju Yunxiu called out, "Qing Cha, serve tea to the guests."

Qing Cha slowly walked up to Li Qingjun and lowered her head.

Li Qingjun asked curiously, "What?"

Qing Cha mumbled, "Serve the tea."

Li Qingjun: "?"

Ju Yunxiu snatched the Qing Cha leaves away and angrily said, "I said the lemon tea I bought earlier wasn't yours! Only I can drink it!"

Qing Cha turned her head. "Uncle-Master is fine too."

Ju Yunxiu was furious. "Stop talking nonsense! Even if he wants some, we won't let him! Go make some tea!"

"Oh, oh." Qing Cha went to the windowsill with a plop, picked up the small pot and poured tea.

Li Qingjun stared at the scene with an ellipsis on her forehead. At that moment, she suddenly remembered a small snake named Ye Ling, and Ju Yunxiu's fair and plump figure in front of her slowly transformed into Cheng Cheng.

She suddenly felt that she could sit back and watch the show. These two pairs were the real rivals, and what did they have to do with her, an ordinary mortal Princess?

No matter how many vixens there are, I Princess, arrived first and remain as steadfast as Mount Tai.

Qing Cha brought over a lemon tea. Li Qingjun plopped down on the edge of the bed, took the tea, and took a sip. The sour taste perfectly matched her current mood.

In any case, the "unpredictable and dangerous place" that she had scared herself with before has completely disappeared. There is probably no safer place within a radius of thousands of miles except for the Penglai Sword Pavilion... As her vigilance dissipated, Li Qingjun immediately felt a wave of fatigue wash over her and whispered, "Since it's Senior Sister, then everything is fine... Please take care of him, Senior Sister."

Ju Yunxiu glanced at her sideways for a while. "I told you to go and rest a long time ago, I don't know why you ran out here."

Li Qingjun: "..."

"Since you're here, tell me in detail what happened inside. What's the situation with the two people who came to hunt you down? I need to know if there's anything more to come."

Knowing this was important, Li Qingjun composed herself and recounted everything that had happened in the Blood Nether Realm.

Ju Yunxiu listened quietly; the story was quite long, and she never interrupted.

Only after listening to the whole thing did she reveal a cold smile, "Gu Xin. People's hearts are clearly no longer what they used to be, yet they still call themselves Gu Xin."

Li Qingjun said, "That's how petty people are. After thinking it over, that Huiyang Witcher can only be after the Blood-Chilling Nether Marrow, which is related to their Witch God Sect."

"It must be for this thing." Ju Yunxiu pondered for a moment. "Perhaps they have a special way of sensing this thing. We may not be able to sense it, but it may attract other swarms of admirers. We must find a way to conceal it."

As she spoke, she expertly reached into Qin Yi's ring and pulled out a piece of blood jade. "Is this it?"

Li Qingjun wiped her sweat. "Yes."

Ju Yunxiu hid the blood jade inside the painting. "That will do."

The two fell silent for a moment, thinking it over and over, and it seemed there was nothing that absolutely needed to be done. The affairs of the Scheming Sect Witch God Sect were complicated and couldn't be explained in a short time. Li Qingjun was tired at the moment, so they could talk about it tomorrow, or wait until Qin Yi woke up.

Li Qingjun then got up to take her leave. "Then I'll go and rest first, and I'll ask my Senior Sister for guidance again tomorrow."

"Here, take this." Ju Yunxiu suddenly handed over a jade slip.

Li Qingjun was taken aback. "What is this?"

"This is a trophy I obtained from killing a rogue Rogue Cultivator during my travels last year. It's a very vicious spear technique... Spear techniques are neither good nor evil; it depends on how the person uses them. It's perfect for you." Ju Yunxiu said calmly, "Penglai Sword Pavilion ultimately focuses on swordsmanship. Not everything is suitable for switching to spear techniques. You also need your own fortuitous opportunity."

Li Qingjun didn't stand on ceremony and thanked her before accepting the gift.

Suddenly, she wondered Ju Yunxiu had kept this spear technique because she knew that Li Qingjun had learned it and wanted to use it for her. It seemed that this Senior Sister was sensitive and open-minded, not as petty and confrontational as she appeared.

No wonder he likes it.

He's so lucky; he's surrounded by women like that.

Then Ju Yunxiu said, "I'm not suited to roaming the world. I can't help but stop here and slack off because of my wanderings... The Chenghuang is even less suited to it because of its status. It would be fine if Qin Yi stayed in seclusion in the mountains, but if he goes out, it seems that you are the most suitable person to accompany him."

Li Qingjun looked up at her. Ju Yunxiu's eyes were filled with complex emotions as she continued, "Qin Yi was once a character in a book I read, and so were you. Although the book was vague, I could tell... In my eyes, you two were a loving couple, and I even commented on your relationship. I just never imagined that I myself would become a character in this book, awaiting judgment from future generations."

These words were somewhat profound, Li Qingjun was lost in thought, unable to answer or respond.

Ju Yunxiu sat back on the edge of the bed, no longer looking at her. "Go and rest."

Li Qingjun stood up and bowed, saying, "Senior Sister, you should also get some rest."

Qing Cha's eyes were filled with circles. How did the two people who were just gloomy suddenly become friends?

The adult world is so complicated...
