"He won't know, right?"

"He won't know!"

"No, I need to find an opportunity to verify it again..."

…

…

The next morning.

When Lu Lingqiu dragged his tired body and sat down at the main seat in the central hall to enjoy breakfast, Bai Xue, Cang Lan, and Xia Lixing had been waiting here for a long time.

Last night, he stayed with Maomao for an hour or two. After she was satisfied, he went back to pick up Jin Yu, and then sent Loli back to the "Jinling Cave" to coax her to sleep...

I couldn't sleep normally when I lay next to her, but I was woken up by an unusual noise in the middle of the night.

When she got up and went out, she found that there seemed to be signs of breakthrough at Mu Qing's place next door. However, as expected, her breakthrough was not a simple gathering of wood spiritual power, but a 50/50 split between flower spiritual power and evil power, floating in the air.

They were strangely repelling and blending with each other... He observed carefully for a long time, and finally understood that the flower's spiritual power poured into the cave from the outside in, while the evil power was scattered from her body to the outside.

The precursor of this kind of vision couldn't help but make him very worried, so he set up a high-level illusion formation around the Muling Cave overnight to cover the evil mist inside it to prevent it from leaking out.

After doing this, it will be bright the day after tomorrow.

This morning, he came here specially to have breakfast. The purpose was to personally bring some food back for Bai Xue and deliver it to Sha Ling, Yan Ye and Jin Yu, so as to reduce part of her workload. Because when he left last night

I accidentally discovered that in just a few days, Bai Xue's condition was already a bit wrong...

"Baixue, do you really don't need to rest?"

Lu Lingqiu asked worriedly as he looked at the girl's increasingly dark circles under her eyes and her thinner body.

"Ah! It's...it's okay...Master, I...can do it..." Bai Xue stood beside him feebly, trying to cheer up and said.

At this moment, Xia Lianxing, who was eating fish cakes, and Cang Lan, who was silently drinking coconut milk, also focused their attention on her at the same time.

Lu Lingqiu observed her closely. Looking at the swaying appearance of that soft and delicate body, he always felt a sense of déjà vu and couldn't help but ask doubtfully:

"...You haven't slept lately, have you?"

"No, Master, I... fell asleep." She replied with evasive eyes.

"Huh? Really?"

Lu Lingqiu expressed doubts, but happened to see Cang Lan on the other side of the table shaking her head with extremely small movements, obviously hinting to him - "She is almost exhausted."

"..."

It had only been a few days since Hua Ling entered the aestivation state. Lu Lingqiu knew that it would take a long time for her to recover from her empty spiritual power. During this period, he could not ignore her and had to feed and "feed her" many times.

"Feeding"... In this way, the daily work within the Jinghua Tianyu becomes a problem.

Just cleaning such a huge cave requires a lot of time and energy; and with so many spirit envoys, they also need to prepare various kinds of delicacies with different tastes... Only one thing is okay, but two things are added together, and it is difficult to complete.

It will explode in an instant, no less than some jobs such as hunting or killing thieves.

"This can't go on like this..."

Lu Lingqiu thought for a while and said to her: "Bai Xue, take a few days' rest."

"No...then what..."

She wanted to refuse, but Lu Lingqiu said forcefully: "This is an order."

"Eh? But, but..."

Bai Xue's hand that was collecting the empty plate was still in the air, and a disappointed expression gradually appeared on her face. It was obvious that she thought that she had failed to do what Sister Hualing told her and had let her and her master down.

But Lu Lingqiu stood up, took the plate from her hand, and said comfortingly:

"You have done a good job, but this is not a job that can be completed by one person. Bai Xue, go and have a rest."

Although he didn't know that Hua Ling's domain could control the time around him and slow it down, he knew that she was a true god-level existence.

And the time of the true God——

is infinite.

"I understand, Master. I will take a good rest. I'm sorry."

Bai Xue stood up straight and bowed deeply to him.

"No need to apologize, I will figure out other things. You go up first." Lu Lingqiu patted her on the back and instructed softly.

"Um."

…

Looking at her sluggish back, he shook his head and sighed in his heart:

"Baixue has been here for a long time. He has been practicing silently, helping others, and working very hard to adapt to the environment of Jinghua Palace. It is very worry-free. This time, he must be exhausted...

…”

"well."

Seeing her, Lu Lingqiu would think of the Snow Mountain Sect.

What he is most afraid of right now is that something will go wrong with Ancestor Xue Fu.

Unlike other spirit envoys, Bai Xue is a human being just like Qin Shiyin.

Once her mother really died at the hands of a monster, he really didn't know how to resolve the rift in the relationship between her and these sisters.

Since ancient times, the gap between humans and monsters cannot be explained in a few words. It is the hatred that has been accumulated since ancient times. After experiencing the precipitation of time and war, they have become indestructible and invincible.

Can be broken.

The Mirror Flower Palace is an attempt.

Lu Lingqiu's heart is like a mirror. Once he has an accident one day and can no longer stay here to take care of everyone, it is completely unknown whether the spirit envoys will live in harmony. The current situation can be said to be the Mirror Flower Palace.

This is the most harmonious state since its establishment.

After all, in some fragments of memory, there are vague images of a certain first-generation spirit envoy who crazily slaughtered other lives...

This is what happens between humans and demons, what’s more, they are not demons.

——

"Master, master?"

Just as he was deep in thought, Xia Lianxing's pleasant voice came from the side.

Lu Lingqiu came to his senses and saw Maomao munching on a small fish cake with mayonnaise and suggesting:

"How about I help Bai Xue clean it?"

"ah?"

He was startled when he heard this.

Just listen to the girl's calm analysis: "When it comes to cooking, I...although I can't do as good a job as Bai Xue and Sister Hualing...but when it comes to cleaning, I can still help share the load!"

After tasting the delicacies of the past few days, she could clearly feel that every meal Bai Xue cooked was the result of all his hard work——

Not only do they make different dishes according to the different tastes of each sister, but the ingredients are also carefully selected, which is comparable to when Sister Hualing was there...

To be fair, she couldn't do it if she wasn't good at cooking. So, she chose to help from another angle. With her agile and strong body, if she could take over this job... maybe she could use the name of cleaning to make a living.

Enter……

"Hey hey hey..."

Lu Lingqiu: "?"

Although he didn't know what Xia Lianxing was grinning about, he still thought about the proposal seriously and nodded:

"Well, if you are willing, I will leave the cleaning to you. However, if you are tired, you must tell me in time, and I will arrange for someone else to take your place. Don't be like Bai Xue... Look

When you get hurt, I feel bad."

"Yeah! Master, don't worry!!"

Xia Lianxing patted her chest and assured, "It'll be absolutely fine~"

"Okay. Then..."

Just when Lu Lingqiu was considering whether to cook delicious food for the children for a few days, he suddenly saw Cang Lan standing up hesitantly, looked at him weakly and said:

"Senior Lu, when it comes to cooking, I have asked Bai Xue a lot recently... You sent Senior Suzaku to rescue me before, so I also want to do something for Jinghua Palace... Why don't you just let me take charge."
