Early morning hours.
The second Miss Qin in his arms was already fast asleep.
Luo Qingzhou did not leave his body immediately. Instead, he took out the communication certificate and sent a message to Sister Yue, asking if he could go out tonight.
I don’t know if the Jinyiwei’s search for souls has ended.
After a moment.
Message reply: Yes
Upon seeing this, Luo Qingzhou felt relieved and immediately left his body.
After flying onto the roof.
He first carefully observed the Qin Mansion for a while, then looked around the nearby streets. After seeing nothing unusual, he flew into the air and rushed to West Lake.
When he arrived at West Lake, there was no one in the attic.
He looked at the lotus flowers not far away.
The moonlight was shining on the green lotus leaves. A demon girl in a black dress was squatting there playing with water with a pair of bare snow-white jade feet. Her long black hair hung down, and the tips of her hair had fallen into the water.
The thin red string on the jade feet is particularly eye-catching.
Luo Qingzhou looked around again before flying over and landing in the lotus bush.
Seeing that it was him, Long Er quickly stood up and said happily, "Mr. Chu, you are finally here. You and my sister were not here these few days, and Long Er was so bored."
Luo Qingzhou asked: "Is Sister Yue here?"
Long Er shook his head and said, "Sister hasn't come yet. I wonder if she will come tonight."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at the snow-white feet under her skirt and asked, "Has anyone else come here these days?"
Long Er nodded and said, "Two spirits came and searched around West Lake for two consecutive nights. During the day, there seemed to be suspicious people wandering around."
Luo Qingzhou's expression became serious, and he asked, "What is the cultivation level of those two spirits?"
Long Er shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I hid at the bottom of the lake and didn't dare to come out."
Luo Qingzhou looked solemn, secretly guessing the origins of the two spirits.
Long Er also stood there quietly, looking at him obediently, completely lacking the majesty and momentum of the little bully of West Lake.
There was silence among the lotus flowers.
After a while.
Luo Qingzhou suddenly asked: "Miss Long'er, are the red ropes and bells on your feet showing any signs of loosening?"
Long Er was slightly startled when he heard this, and shook his head and said, "Probably not."
Luo Qingzhou looked down and said, "You advanced through the tribulation last time, so your strength must have improved. Don't you feel anything?"
Long Er sighed and said, "This belongs to Daddy. It contains Daddy's divine blood. No matter how strong I am, I can't unlock it."
Then she bit her lip, and suddenly looked at him and said, "Mr. Chu, how about you try to help Long Er again?"
Luo Qingzhou looked down at her skirt and was about to speak when his eyes suddenly caught sight of a figure reflected in the lake beside him.
The moonlight was white, and the figure was standing silently on a lotus leaf not far away, seeming to be looking at him quietly.
Luo Qingzhou immediately raised his head and said, "Miss Long'er, men and women should not touch each other. Girls' feet cannot be touched by others casually. You should find someone else to help you try."
Long Er was stunned for a moment, and said, "But the young master already touched it last time, and Long Er didn't care."
Luo Qingzhou still shook his head firmly.
Long Er looked at the expression on his face and suddenly felt something was wrong. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned his head and looked at the lotus bush next to him. His expression suddenly changed.
Luo Qingzhou followed her gaze and said with surprise, "Sister Yue, you are here."
Having said that, he flew over immediately.
A moon-white figure was standing on a lotus leaf not far away, looking at the two of them quietly. It was unknown how long he had been there.
Luo Qingzhou landed in front of her and said, "Sister Yue, I thought you wouldn't come tonight."
The moon-white figure was wrapped in a halo, hazy, and he didn't know where to look, and he didn't speak.
Luo Qingzhou was a little embarrassed and could only say, "Sister Yue, I have a question for you. I went to a place a few days ago and found that some people not only practiced martial arts, but also cultivated their souls. When their souls reached the middle stage of the Spirit Refining Realm, they could use their physical bodies to control swords, but their speed and power seemed to be inferior to mine. Is it because their cultivation methods are not as good as Sister Yue's?"
The moon-white figure was silent for a while, and Fang Dandan said, "It's because they are not as good as you."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
"Sister Yue... Um, I want to ask, which sect are you from? It shouldn't be one of the five major sects in Da Yan, right?"
He was very curious.
The moon-white figure turned around, looked at the moonlight on the lake, and did not answer.
Seeing that she didn't want to answer, Luo Qingzhou didn't ask any more questions and said, "Then Sister Yue, can you tell me, besides the five major sects of Da Yan and the Dragon and Tiger Academy, are there other more powerful places for cultivation?"
The moon-white figure remained silent and did not answer.
At this time, Long Er flew over and landed beside her, answering for her: "My father said that the five major sects of Da Yan are actually nothing. There should be more powerful places for cultivation. But my father didn't tell me the details."
Luo Qingzhou listened and thought secretly in his heart.
As expected, from what Xiaoyue said, Sister Yue’s sect should be very powerful, and it is definitely not comparable to the five major sects of Dayan.
So, his previous words about helping Sister Yue probably sounded like bragging to Xiaoyue.
But of course he won't give up.
He looked at Yue Bai's figure in front of him, and couldn't help but think of the message she replied that night. He couldn't help but ask: "Sister Yue, the message you sent that night..."
Before he could finish his question, Long Er suddenly said, "Mr. Chu, the message that night was sent to you by Long Er."
Luo Qingzhou was stunned when he heard this, and looked at her and said, "You sent it?"
Long Er nodded and said, "Yes, it was sent by Long Er."
Luo Qingzhou said: "But, I haven't told you what the news is yet."
Long Er paused for a moment, and could only say: "The messages these past two nights were all sent by Long Er. Long Er was bored, so he borrowed his sister's communication treasure to play with."
Luo Qingzhou narrowed his eyes, stared at her eyes for a few breaths, and without asking any more questions, he nodded and said, "Oh, forget it."
Long Er smiled and said nothing more.
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "By the way, Miss Long'er, have you heard of the Black and White Sword?"
"Black and white sword?"
Long Er thought about it carefully and shook his head: "No."
Luo Qingzhou said: "I recently obtained a set of ancient swordsmanship. There are words of the demon race and human characters on it. Moreover, it is a swordsmanship that two people practice together. So I guess it may be created by a demon race master and a human master, and then practiced together."
Then, he asked, "Miss Long'er, can demons and humans be together? I mean, become husband and wife and live together?"
The moon-white figure glanced at him.
Long Er listened and nodded, "Of course you can. When demons are born, their body structure is actually the same as humans, except for the blood, some other things, and they can transform. As long as the demons are in human form, there is absolutely no problem marrying and mating with humans. I heard from my father that there are many such couples, and they have given birth to many offspring, who are called half-demons..."
Then, she lifted the hem of her skirt, stood on her slender toes, and spun lightly on the lotus leaf, smiling, "Sir, look, is there any difference between Long'er and humans?"
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her lower body and did not answer.
Long Er smiled and said, "The only difference is that Long Er doesn't like to wear shoes."
Luo Qingzhou nodded.
Long Er looked at him with sparkling eyes, and suddenly asked, "Sir, what about that ancient sword technique? Since it is a double sword technique created by human masters and demon masters, only when the descendants of humans and demons practice together can they release the greatest power."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and said directly: "I can't give you the sword technique. I'm already practicing with others."
Long Er was stunned when he heard this: "Sir, do you know any other demon tribes?"
Luo Qingzhou shook his head and said, "She is not a demon, she is my wife."
Long Er's expression darkened, a little disappointed: "Oh."
Luo Qingzhou didn't say anything more to her. He looked at Yue Bai and said, "Sister Yue, I will finish telling you the story of Journey to the West tonight. After I finish, I will tell you about the Lotus Sutra."
The white figure said calmly: "No need, you should practice first and try to break through to the Spiritual Severing Realm before the New Year."
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, looked at her and said: "The story and the sutra..."
The moon-white figure looked toward the lake in the distance and said, "No need to talk about it for now."
Luo Qingzhou wanted to say something else, but Yuebai's figure suddenly flew into the air, turned into a ray of moonlight, and said, "Let's start."
Then, a vortex began to appear in the air.
The power of the moon above the entire West Lake began to surge towards here like a tide.
Luo Qingzhou was deeply moved and did not dare to delay. He immediately sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated, and began to practice.
Strands of moonlight power poured down like a waterfall and landed on top of his head.
Above his head, a slowly rotating vortex appeared, continuously absorbing the power of the moonlight and injecting it into his body.
A warm current suddenly surged into Luo Qingzhou's body, making him feel warm and comfortable.
The entire soul exuded a layer of moon-white light, flickering continuously.
Long Er stood by and looked at him quietly for a while, then raised his head and glanced at the moon-white figure in the air, then left silently.
The autumn wind blows, the lake surface sparkles, and the lotus leaves rustle.
The night passes quietly.
Luo Qingzhou entered a mysterious state and felt that his soul had left this world and flown into a world full of moonlight.
"boom!"
Thunder began to rumble overhead.
Bolts of lightning fell on the moon-white figure in the air, illuminating her absolutely beautiful and flawless face.
The demon girl who was hiding under the water, frightened by the thunder, looked up at the sky through the lake with a dazed look.
When Luo Qingzhou woke up from his cultivation and opened his eyes, it was already dawn.
And that moon-white figure had quietly left at some point, nobody knew.
A demon girl in a black dress was standing gracefully on the lotus leaf in front of him, looking at him with complicated eyes.
Luo Qingzhou stood up and asked, "Where's Sister Yue?"
Long Er said softly, "Sister is gone. Mr. Chu, can Long Er ask you a question?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "You ask."
Long Er said in a daze: "What does it feel like to like someone?"
Luo Qingzhou thought for a moment and said, "When you like someone, you will think about her all the time. No matter where you go, you will think about her. You want to see her every day and stay with her forever. You will give everything for her without hesitation, even your life."
Long Er said, "Oh."
Luo Qingzhou stared at her for a while and said, "Why did you suddenly think of asking this question? Don't tell me you have someone you like?"
Long Er shook his head and said, "I'm just curious. I've been reading my mother's diary these past two days. She said that she loved my father very much and wanted my father to eat her up and become one with him. So I'm very curious about what love is and why my mother said that."
Luo Qingzhou paused for a moment and said, "Maybe, probably, the eating your mother meant is not that kind of eating."
Long Er asked in confusion: "What is that food?"
Luo Qingzhou shrugged and said, "I don't know either."
He looked at the sky and said, "It's almost dawn, I should go. Miss Long'er, you should be careful recently. It's best not to go out during the day."
Long Er said, "Well, young master should also be careful."
Luo Qingzhou nodded and prepared to leave.
Long Er suddenly asked again: "Sir, Long Er wants to see you every day, is this love?"
Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said, "Of course not. You are just bored and want to find someone to accompany you."
Long Er shook his head and said, "But, Long Er still wants to mate with you, young master."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
Long Er looked at him with sparkling eyes and said, "Long Er had a dream last night. In the dream, I was mating with the young master."
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, then said, "Long'er, even though you are a demon, you shouldn't be so bold and direct when speaking. Mating is an animal behavior, you could actually say it in a more tactful and pleasant way."
Long Er thought for a moment and said, "Breeding?"
Luo Qingzhou flew up and waved, "Bye."
Long Er quickly said, "Young Master, do you want to breed with Long Er? With your Thunder Spirit Body and Long Er's Divine Dragon Body, our offspring will definitely be very powerful."
Luo Qingzhou ignored her and quickly flew into the sky and disappeared.
Long Er stared blankly at the dim sky. After a moment, he clenched his fist and murmured, "Long Er needs your thunder spirit. If that happens, I won't be afraid of being reduced to ashes in a thunderstorm anymore. Who knows, I might be able to turn into a dragon in the future. Long Er won't give up. I must mate with you!"
Luo Qingzhou returned to the Qin Mansion, his mind and spirit returned to his body. He held the weak and docile Second Miss Qin in his arms, who was as gentle as a cat, and closed his eyes.
Suddenly, he had a dream.
In his dream, he was entangled by a snake, which spat out its tongue and said to him, "Sir, I want, I want..."
Luo Qingzhou woke up with a start, sweating profusely. When he opened his eyes, it was already noon.
The voices of Miss Qin Er and her mother-in-law could be heard outside the window.
"Your second brother has already left for the academy. Your second brother was so kind to him, but he didn't even bother to get up and see him off..."
"By the way, Weimo, I just went to see Jianjia. Jianjia is sick and doesn't look well. After you have lunch, go see her..."
Luo Qingzhou got out of bed, put on his clothes, went over and opened the window.
Under the pear tree outside the window, a mother and daughter were standing there holding hands and talking softly. One was wearing a moon-white dress, the other a snow-white fox fur coat. One was young and beautiful with a graceful figure, the other was delicate and graceful, like a lotus emerging from the water, with natural beauty.
The two stood together, with similar eyebrows and height, like a pair of sisters.
Luo Qingzhou bowed his head and said, "Mother-in-law."
Song Ruyue glanced at him and said with concern: "Qingzhou, if you are tired from studying, just sleep a little longer. I have made some soup for you in the kitchen, and I will ask Qiu'er to heat it up for you later. If you want to eat anything, just tell them and your mother-in-law will make it for you."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Thank you, mother-in-law. Has my second brother gone to the academy?"
Song Ruyue said, "Yes, I left this morning and was about to come over to say goodbye to you. Weimo said you were tired from studying last night and were still sleeping, so I didn't disturb you."
Miss Qin said softly, "Second brother is gone for the first time, he can come back once a month, Brother Qingzhou will see him again soon."
Luo Qingzhou nodded.
Seeing that he hadn't washed up yet, Song Ruyue said, "I'll go first. I have to go to the store this afternoon. Clothes are selling very well recently, and Xiaotao and the others are too busy to handle it."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Luo Qingzhou left the room.
Qiu'er helped him put on his shoes and washed up, and said, "Son-in-law, Xiaodie went to help in the store, so she's quite busy recently."
Luo Qingzhou was washing his face and was about to apologize for what happened last night when Miss Qin came over and said, "Brother Qingzhou, let's go see my sister later. Mother said that my sister is sick."
Luo Qingzhou nodded and said, "Okay."
Qin Weimo glanced at him and said softly, "Brother Qingzhou, Huagu came this morning and said that the princess is ready to go to the border to resist the demon tribe, and she also said that the princess wants you to go with her."
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, wiped the water stains on his face, and looked at her.
