Ji Luolian didn’t stay at Penglai Mansion for long. He left empty-handed and, in the blink of an eye, appeared in the place he was in prior entering Penglai Mansion. As soon as he came out, he sensed a familiar presence nearby and sure enough, when he looked up, he saw his sister Ji Shenglian sitting not far away.

“Luolian, you’re back.” Ji Shenglian was dressed in white, her smile gentle as she reclined on a chair cushioned with fox fur. A silent man dressed in black obediently kneeled beside her feet and massaged her legs.

“Big Sister,” Ji Luolian called out. Although his face was still passive, his eyes lit up at once. His figure blurred and appeared in front of Ji Shenglian. However, he didn’t nuzzle up to Ji Shenglian, but suddenly reached out for the head of the man in black, who was at Ji Shenglian’s feet, and promptly killed him without batting an eye.

The terrified man in black burst into dots of light that dissipated in the air, and a blue lotus leaf fell on the ground where he originally stood. Ji Shenglian chuckled, one hand pulling Ji Luolian closer and the other making a hand sign. A man completely identical to the previous man in black appeared; he bowed and silently retreated.

“It was nothing but a spirit servant. Luolian is as capricious as ever.” Ji Shenglian’s arms hung around Ji Luolian’s neck, and she blew gently on his ear.

Ji Luolian’s teal eyes were full of adoration. He turned his head and pecked his sister’s lips. “No matter what it is, no one is allowed to get close to my Big Sister, or I will murder them. Big Sister isn’t wrong no matter what she does, it’s the fault of those who try to steal my Big Sister… Big Sister, Big Sister, Luolian missed you so much.”

Ji Luolian was like a puppy, nosing around in Ji Shenglian’s embrace and greedily taking in the scent around her neck, with the intention of moving further and further down.

Ji Shenglian squished his face and pushed him away, half-smiling at him. “You miss your Big Sister? Didn’t you steal a lotus petal from Big Sister? It’s time to return it.”

Ji Luolian reluctantly let himself be pushed off, and carefully took out a single lotus petal. Ji Shenglian took it and, without changing her expression, pulled aside her robes and pressed the petal on her left chest. As soon as it touched her skin, the lotus petal turned into a voluptuous breast.

“Next time could you choose some other place? If the two breasts aren’t the same size, Big Sister will be distressed.”

“Then give me both sides?” Ji Luolian blinked with clear eyes full of child-like innocence.

Ji Shenglian covered her eyes and pushed away his head, which wanted to burrow down again. “Luolian, when are you going to return to your original form? You should’ve had enough of the innocent young boy game.”

“Hehe~” With a light laugh, Ji Luolian turned from a teen into a healthy young man. The young man was completely different from the young boy, a charming and alluring smile on his face, and eyes akin to small hooks that baited people, seducing and taking others’ souls with but a glance.

“Since Big Sister misses this form of mine, Luolian will naturally satisfy her.” Even his voice became magnetic-like. He sounded particularly erotic as his voice lowered, “Did Big Sister miss me, want me? Luolian will satisfy Big Sister~” With a motion of his hand. Ji Luolian pulled apart Ji Shenglian’s robes, pushing her down with the intent to kiss her.

The next moment, he was kicked away by a fair leg and fell to the ground.

Ji Luolian stood up with ruffled robes, his smile still sinful, and without a second thought tried to stick to Ji Shenglian again. His face was unceremoniously grabbed, and he was pressed against a chair, unable to move.

“We’ll talk about that kind of thing later. First, tell me about what I asked you to do.” Ji Shenglian straightened her robes, one foot stepping on Ji Luolian’s chest, not allowing him to get up.

Ji Luolian was unaffected. He laid there, propping his head against the ground as he caressed her feet with great interest, and said lazily, “Tianfeng Jinyu is indeed, as Big Sister said, completely different from before. If it wasn’t for the lack of change in her aura and body, I would think she was changed for a dummy. The former Tianfeng Jinyu was a lunatic, and the current Tianfeng Jinyu is a fool, so there’s nothing to be afraid of, do not worry, Big Sister.”

“I’m not worried about anything, I was just curious. Then, what about the Pure Golden Lotus?” Ji Luolian’s answer was said casually, and Ji Shenglian’s question was also voiced carelessly.

Hearing Ji Shenglian mention the Pure Golden Lotus, Ji Luolian eyes sparked with interest, the corner of his lips pulling into a nasty smile. “The information was false. There was no Pure Golden Lotus at all, but there was an even more interesting thing.”

“Oh?” Ji Shenglian also became interested.

“The so-called ‘Pure Golden Lotus’ is actually the ‘Six Desire Devil Lotus’. If our original forms didn’t have some relations, I probably wouldn’t have been able to tell either. It was almost able to fool me, so those guys naturally won’t recognize it. Since there’s such a thing there, is Penglai Mansion really an abandoned residence of a celestial being? I think it’s more of a Devil God’s palace.” Ji Luolian’s smile widened. “I gifted that ‘Pure Golden Lotus’ to the half-demon that Tianfeng Jinyu likes. Guess, Big Sister, what will become of that half-demon?”

“The Six Desire Devil Lotus, like the Pure Golden Lotus, can change a half-demon’s half-blood constitution, and even greatly improve their innate talent. However, if there’s obsession and greed in their heart, then… heh… then they will fall into depravity. Since a century ago when the last Devil was eradicated in the Abyss of Buried Gods, Mengze hasn’t seen the appearance of a Devil in a long while. Isn’t this interesting~” Ji Shenglian smiled tenderly, her voice full of warmth. “That half-demon who enchanted Tianfeng Jinyu, what kind of guy is he?”

Ji Luolian cocked his head. A dazzling smile suddenly blossomed on his face. “It’s a guy who will undoubtedly become a Devil sooner or later, even without the Six Desire Devil Lotus.”

……

Shu Yu covered her reddened lips, holding Fu Wang’s hand as they walked on a remote path of the Penglai Mansion. Maybe because Fu Wang was at her side, or maybe because something extremely embarrassing happened just now, but right now she couldn’t feel the gloominess of Penglai Mansion, and any possible fear disappeared without a trace.

She looked at the sky, at the ground, at the flowers and grass; the only thing she didn’t dare look at was Fu Wang who was holding her hand. But Fu Wang kept looking at her with a smile that could melt people’s hearts, staring at her earnestly without blinking. Shu Yu felt her cheeks were about to be burned through by the Boss’ gaze. She was so pressured by the look that her head was about to tilt back.

To say if it’s embarrassment… It wasn’t, it’s just- just shyness. When she recovered from that long and distracting kiss, she didn’t know why, but she couldn’t stare directly at Fu Wang’s face anymore. This was even her first love, although having a first love at her age wasn’t common even among her friends, she had pondered about what it would be like to fall in love with someone.

She thought it was just breaking through that line, and that there would be no big difference from their usual interactions, but in reality, she was completely mistaken. Perhaps it was because she and Fu Wang were originally people who had great restraint. Before, she quietly liked him but always kept a distance because of worry, so there was always a lack of that kind of intimacy. The same was true for Fu Wang; although sometimes he deliberately made small gestures to get close to her, in reality he was always extremely tactful, so it might as well been cat-like pawing.

Now that everything was out in the open, the atmosphere between them was suddenly a bit different. It was like two circles that were next to each other suddenly started to overlap.

If there existed a screen right now, the surrounding of two people holding hands would probably be full of pink bubbles and blooming flowers, Shu Yu thought.

Shu Yu didn’t know about Fu Wang, but her heart had been beating extremely fast since then, she was even a bit worried it would burst out of her chest. If it beat this fast, wouldn’t it get tired? Shu Yu discreetly pressed her hand on her chest.

“If I speak right now, maybe my heart will just jump out of my throat. I’ve been thinking like that for a while now, aren’t I a bit silly?” Fu Wang suddenly said.

Shu Yu was so startled she immediately let go of her chest, turning to look at him quickly and meeting his smiling gaze, so she instantly turned away again. She didn’t even hear his words clearly, her ears full of the heavy sound of her heartbeat.

Fu Wang suddenly let go of Shu Yu’s hand, but immediately he grasped it again. Shu Yu turned around to find he was wiping the sweat from her palm.

“Xiao-Yu is just like me, your palms are full of sweat.” Fu Wang was looking down, wiping her hands carefully as he said slowly, “When I held your hand as we walked, I found my palms were full of sweat, and I was suddenly nervous, thinking things like ‘if Xiao-Yu knows I can get nervous, would she laugh at me’. After all, in Xiao-Yu eyes, I seem like a perfect person, even though I’m not actually as great as Xiao-Yu thinks I am. If it’s possible, I want to always be that kind of person in Xiao-Yu’s eyes.”

“But then I found you’re like me, and I suddenly felt like, I really wanted to tell you all of my feelings.” Fu Wang finished wiping Shu Yu’s hand. He pulled the blushing, flustered person into his embrace, pressing her against his chest and his chin bumping the side of her head, hugging her with a stance full of tenderness.

“Listen, isn’t it beating very fast? It’s because of Xiao-Yu.”

As Fu Wang finished, the person in his arms suddenly wriggled out an arm and covered his mouth. Shu Yu stared at his chest and, slightly stammering, said: “You, don’t you feel, um, embarrassed?”

Fu Wang kissed the palm covering his mouth, startling Shu Yu into immediately withdrawing her hand like a frightened hamster. She rigidly looked at him while holding her hand.

Lowering his head and resting his forehead against Shu Yu’s, Fu Wang said, “If I wasn’t so worried Shu Yu would be embarrassed, I wouldn’t want to do anything right now, and would only want to hug Xiao-Yu and lie down in a place where it’s only the two of us. Then I would repeat ‘I like you’ next to Xiao-Yu’s ears, until Xiao-Yu falls asleep in my arms.”

Shu Yu: AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! I’M! GOING! TO! EXPLODE! Please stop talking AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! ≧﹏≦ Let me breathe normally, let my heartbeat work normally!

Fu Wang: “I can’t help it. My sanity was eaten by Xiao-Yu just now, so no matter what I say, Xiao-Yu can’t get angry with me.”

Shu Yu: Do you have a book of romantic words hidden inside your brain! I don’t care! Give me back the previous Boss! Where did you hide him!

Probably because someone finally couldn’t stand the blinding love-love halo of these two, the sound of fighting appeared in the front of the path they were walking.

There were many treasures in Penglai Mansion, and it was inevitable for parties to bump into one another and refuse to concede, so it was only natural to start fighting. It was the first time they have met others since they left the stone forest where the gold lotus used to be.

Because there were others, Fu Wang finally regained his previous composure, no longer being a walking encyclopedia of romantic sentences that incessantly uttered embarrassing words. Shu Yu heaved a sigh of relief.

Fu Wang didn’t release Shu Yu’s hand, but instead held her and veered in a different direction around them. They didn’t want to collect other treasures now. No matter if it was the successful acquisition of the Pure Golden Lotus, or how Shu Yu finally budged on her feelings, Fu Wang didn’t want to waste any more time here. Right now, he only wanted to return to his and Shu Yu’s home, refine the Pure Golden Lotus to change his half-demon body, and then tightly entangle with Shu Yu and get utterly intimate with her.

However, as soon as they reached the gate of Penglai Mansion, they saw two men from the Winged Clan standing there. One of them angrily shouted, “What’s going on with this Penglai Mansion! Is it playing tricks on us! We worked so hard for our treasure, and it instantly disappears and returns to Penglai Mansion as soon as we leave!”

The other, who looked like his partner, also frowned and said, “It seems we can only eat those treasures inside Penglai Mansion, otherwise we will have come here for nothing.”

“But in that case, are we supposed to cultivate in this kind of place!?” The former was very frustrated.

In the end, the two left with darkened expressions. Shu Yu and Fu Wang appeared and looked at each other.

Shu Yu felt that this practice of Penglai Mansion’s was somehow familiar, and after thinking for a bit she remembered why. Wasn’t this the same as the touristic orchards in the modern era, where you could eat anything in the orchard till you were full, but you can’t take anything out? Hm, she was more and more curious about the master of Penglai Mansion. What kind of person were they, to have such an odd mindset.

Fu Wang thoughtfully looked in the direction the two disappeared, and then smiled at Shu Yu. “I will go try.” Then he put all the obtained treasures in Shu Yu’s hands, and only took two treasures to step out of Penglai Mansion. After a while, he came back and told Shu Yu, “It’s as they said.”

“Then, let’s find a place first, so you can refine and absorb the Pure Golden Lotus.” Shu Yu said.

“I was also thinking that. Although it’s not a good time or a good place, it’s our only choice.” Fu Wang hugged Shu Yu with soft eyes. “As long as you’re by my side, I will definitely succeed.”

It wouldn’t be easy to refine and absorb the Pure Golden Lotus, which was a kind of spiritual object that basically defied the Heavenly Dao. He originally wanted to wait until he was more prepared, but now he could only take on the risk.

Even so, he believed he would not fail.

Chapter Description: You thought I’ll take it easy on the Boss?

Author’s Note:

I know some girls who read to this chapter will feel “Ah, this damned author is definitely up to some suffering”.

I want to clearly tell everyone, there won’t be suffering! At least not for now… Ehem, anyways even if there’s suffering it will only be after a lot of sweet and loving chapters, then one or two chapters of suffering, and then sweet and loving again. Anyway, romance has always been my sort of thing.
