The next day, Fenghua Mountain, bamboo forest.

"Master, master~"

"Wait a minute, Jin Yu, be honest and don't touch me."

"There's no touching! I can't even move."

"But your hands..."

"Oh, look at the road well."

In the sunny afternoon, Lu Lingqiu was holding the blond Loli and walking step by step in the direction of Wan Lingchun's Return Formation.

Yesterday, he stayed with her for a long time, obviously intending to let her have a good rest, but she insisted on drinking wine to "refresh herself". In desperation, he had to fill her wine bottle with high-quality fairy wine, and fed her one mouthful at a time.

Give it to her, and end up watching over her all night while she talks drunkenly.

"Speaking of which, would you like to stay with me for one more day?"

As they walked, Jin Yu suddenly put her little head pitifully on his master's shoulder and softly pleaded in his ear. His appearance was really endearing.

Lu Lingqiu wanted to refuse. After all, he had just succeeded in overcoming the tribulation and there were still too many things to deal with. But when it came to acting like a spoiled child, Jin Yu was not inferior to Mu Qing in his heyday:

"Please."

"..."

"Please, please—"

"..."

"Is that good?"

"..."

"Master~"

Lu Lingqiu looked at her watery eyes as he walked. Although what he was thinking in his heart was "No, absolutely not", when it came to his mouth, he said:

"...It's not impossible."

"Wow! Really?! Master, you must keep your word!"

"Of course, I have lied to you before."

Since he agreed, he must do it right. Lu Lingqiu reached out and rubbed the girl's blond hair, and nodded to her with certainty.

"whee!"

Seeing him doting on her so much, Jin Yu was so happy that she couldn't control the impulse in her heart. She pecked him on the cheek again with a "mom" sound, and then quickly looked away with her face flushed, her mouth full of sweetness.

Sweet smile.

Lu Lingqiu had long been accustomed to her tactful behavior.

After all, a long time ago, she liked to ask herself to carry her back to the house to sleep under the pretense of being drunk, and then in the dead of night, she would quietly touch her and do random things to her.

But then I thought about it, before she went out this time, I had indeed not cared for her for a long time.

Through in-depth communication, he learned that on the way back from the "sword showdown", she was attacked and killed by Pei Zhengdao, the "best swordsman in the world", and Pei Zhengdao was the leader of the Hidden Sect.

It has an alliance relationship with Tiandaomen.

Therefore, if it were not for the hostility between Jinghua Palace and the Six Hidden Sects, she would not have been injured. In other words, she was implicated by the grudges she had buried, and she had to pay a heavy price to fight to the death of a god.

Strong enemy.

He was in seclusion to survive the catastrophe, but the outside world was in chaos. If the spiritual envoys had not been helping him to resist foreign enemies, I am afraid that this catastrophe would not have gone through so smoothly.

"well."

Every time he thought about this, it was difficult for Lu Lingqiu to refuse any request she made. Whether it was coquettishness or willfulness, he could accept it.

Just listen to him continue to say like an old father:

"I can accompany you, but you need to recover your strength now. I'll send you to Xiao Ling's place to lie down for a while, and I'll pick you up again in the evening."

He knew that although Jin Yu's condition was much better than Sha Ling's, he was still lacking in spiritual power and was extremely weak.

If you rest in this state, it may take a year and a half to recover. However, if you are in the Spring Return Formation of All Souls and are nourished by the power of the flower spirit, the recovery time will be shortened by at least half.

"Eh? Okay, then... I want to sleep with her in my arms tonight."

"OK."

Lu Lingqiu directly answered in the affirmative.

She smiled even sweeter when she heard her master's promise.

"Master...that's so kind."

She lay obediently on top of him and murmured softly.

"Is there any?" He looked at her.

"Um."

She nodded in confirmation.

Unlike her sisters, although Jin Yu always has a playful and smiling face, her understanding of him is second only to Hua Ling.

She knew from the first time she came to Jinghua Palace that it was unrealistic to monopolize her master's affection. The other second-generation envoys also knew this very well.

Whether it is Yan Ye, Shui Lian, or Sha Ling, they all very rationally maintain the most basic distance from their master, trying not to arouse the resentment of the other sisters. Everyone understands that in this world, human beings like the master are absolutely impossible.

There is no second one.

In Jin Yu's opinion, being chosen by the master and receiving the master's care is already a great "blessing" that transcends opportunity and luck and transcends past and present lives.

This kind of fate allows her to feel "love" and the temperature of "love" in the midst of despair and pain, and through his "love" she can find the "feeling of being alive".

Therefore, the time spent being held, pampered, and cared for by him was the best and most precious memory for her. The injury she suffered this time when she went out could be exchanged for the long-lost love from her master. In her heart, it was

There is no loss in blood.

"I really want to rely on my master and never leave... It's a pity that I can't be too selfish and leave some room for the other sisters to be loved."

This is the tacit understanding between the second generation of spiritual envoys.

Just when she was lost in memories, she suddenly heard her master's voice:

"Jin Yu."

"..."

"...Jin Yu?"

"...Eh?!"

She suddenly came back to her senses and asked quickly:

"What's the matter? Master."

"What are you thinking about?"

Lu Lingqiu could feel that she was worried, and couldn't help but feel concerned.

"It's nothing."

"Yeah?"

"By the way, what I'm thinking about should be easy to guess, right?"

She asked back with a smile.

"Huh?" Lu Lingqiu was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he meant.

Just listen to her serious words:

"After all, apart from the master, I don't care about anything else."

"..."

Hearing this, he suddenly stopped.

"Hey, eh? Master, what are you doing?"

Seeing his sudden change of expression, the blond Loli, who knew her master very well, seemed to realize something. She quickly hugged his neck and rubbed his cheek, trying to prevent him from falling into negative emotions.

She knew that the master would always suddenly think of some strange things because of hearing certain words, and then blame all the faults on himself, and fall into a state of self-denial...

As expected, Lu Lingqiu said slowly:

"Jin Yu. Actually, I have thought a lot about this matter."

"Eh...?"

"When I saw that you and Xiao Ling were injured at the Guishen Platform through the Liuli Order, that feeling... was really hard to describe." He said in a low voice.

"Hey, I know you feel sorry for us, but this time it was an accident. It was an accident!"

In order to prevent him from continuing to struggle, Jin Yu quickly comforted him in advance.

"But, all along, what I'm most afraid of and what I least want to see is that any of you get hurt."
To be continued...
