In the backyard, Lu Bei sat under a tree, holding a teacup in both hands, with a look of worldly vicissitudes and helplessness on his face.
She Xuan walked towards the kitchen and saw that there was no one around except a dead man. She was secretly delighted and walked to the stone table and sat down slowly with a nonchalant look on her face.
What a coincidence, you are here too.
When She Xuan woke up, she left the suffocating Beijun Mountain and returned to her own territory. She felt indescribably happy.
Not only that, since the two camps were built halfway up the mountain, the sweatshop was moved, and the underground palace dungeon was moved, Sanqing Peak has become less noisy and has returned to its former tranquility.
Furthermore, Lu Bei ordered the five little foxes to practice hard, and provided them with all kinds of resources, including elixirs, spiritual herbs, and spent all kinds of money to let them refine their bloodlines.
The progress of her cultivation is not discussed for now. The key point is that the five little foxes are in seclusion and there are only her and Lu Bei on the entire mountain.
The more I think about it, the happier I am.
"What's wrong? You look so sad. Have you encountered any troubles?" She Xuan asked with a smile.
Lu Bei sighed and said truthfully: "You won't understand the problems in cultivation and the matters of the Void Refining Realm even if I tell you."
She Xuan was used to being scolded but didn't care. In addition, she was in a good mood today, so she felt sweet when she heard Lu Bei's foul mouth. She reached behind her back and took out a special roast goose.
"Try it. My cooking skills have improved. It's much more delicious than before."
Lu Bei: (a `′=)
Thinking of the unpleasant memories from before, and looking at the roast goose, his face became even more sad.
But facing the expectation in She Xuan's eyes, it was hard for him to refuse, so he tore off a goose leg and stuffed it into her mouth.
[You have been poisoned. After deducting the defense and poison immunity, your health remains unchanged.]
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
"Well, you know what, it is indeed quite interesting."
Lu Bei was frowning, thinking that his life was over. However, thanks to She Xuan's tireless efforts, his taste buds told him that the poisoned roast goose was actually quite delicious.
She Xuan was delighted to hear this. She was immune to poison and had no idea that the roast goose was mixed with some weird stuff. She just felt that her cooking skills had improved greatly and it wouldn't take long for her to control Lu Bei's stomach.
She supported her chin with one hand, leaned against the stone table, and watched Lu Bei finish the whole plate of roast goose with tenderness in her eyes.
Sometimes, happiness is actually very simple.
Lu Bei ate everything clean, stood up, patted his butt, and turned to walk towards the front yard.
She Xuan followed subconsciously: "Where are we going, to the camp halfway up the mountain?"
"Well, let's go to the camp and show our faces first, and then organize the mountain protection formation."
Lu Bei replied, Mo Buxiu has not been involved in any human affairs for many years, and the construction of Yuhua Sect has only been limited to a piece of land. The mountain protection formation originated from the contribution of his senior brother Lin Yu.
Now, his cultivation level has surpassed that of the air force guy back then, and it is time to reorganize the formation.
Lu Bei didn't know much about formations. The 'Formation Guide' left by Mo Buxiu hadn't been upgraded for a long time. However, he took a different approach. In his continuous exploration of dual cultivation, he became more and more adept at the many magical uses of the Shuangxuan Treasure Map. With the basic knowledge of the Five Elements and the Five Symbols, it was not difficult for him to tailor a formation around Sanqing Peak.
"How long will it take to repair the formation? It won't interfere with our dual cultivation at night, right?" She Xuan asked.
"Dual cultivation again, didn't we just do it just now..."
Lu Bei twitched his lips and said, "Sister She, cultivation requires a gradual progress. It doesn't matter if you don't move, but I'm afraid my body can't take it!"
"What's so hard to bear? This is it for tonight."
She Xuan muttered to herself, she only wanted the innate Qi, nothing else. Besides, it would be a waste to leave it alone, so she could use it for cultivation.
"Not tonight."
"Why, you want to go out for errands?"
Almost. My cousin asked me to deliver the goods to her home.
Lu Bei gave an answer in his mind, and said in a businesslike manner, "I have to go to Yizhou. In addition to reporting official business, my cousin also made an appointment to go out and kill someone tonight. Another demon cultivator has infiltrated the country."
"Cousin... you mean the Grand Commander of the Huangji Sect?"
She Xuan's face turned strange, and she asked suspiciously, "If I remember correctly, she is the eldest princess of the current royal family. Why does she always ask you out for no reason?"
"You're greedy for my body!"
Lu Bei looked around proudly and whispered, "I'm only telling you, don't spread it. From what I've seen, your cousin is an undercover agent planted by the royal family in the Huangji Sect. When the emperor learned that I have outstanding qualifications, he ordered your cousin to do everything he can to get me on board the royal family's broken ship."
"That's very dangerous, stay away from her, don't get involved in the mess of the Huangji Sect and the royal family."
"It's too late."
Lu Bei continued, "Some time ago, the Huangji Sect also took action against me. A great elder of the Huangji Sect named me as a relative. In Changming Mansion, I had a grandfather for no reason. The two sides have started fighting over me."
"What do you mean, you can't run away?"
"You could say that."
Seeing She Xuan's worried expression, Lu Bei comforted her, "A crisis is both a curse and a blessing. Their quarrels just gave me the opportunity to raise the price, which is a good thing."
"No fence-sitter has a good ending. Aren't you afraid of getting caught in it?"
"It doesn't matter. The stick will only stir it up if it gets stuck in there."
"… "
She Xuan looked disgusted when she heard this. She waved her hand and told Lu Bei to disappear from her sight. She also reminded him, "Yizhou's cousin has bad intentions. Don't let her get the better of you."
"Don't worry, I'm just trying to keep her on edge. She won't get any benefits from it."
…
Changming Mansion was dark and silent, with only the study room brightly lit.
Lu Bei sat behind Zhu Qilan with his hands on his back. At the end of his practice, he injected a large amount of innate Qi.
The innate Qi has many wonderful uses, and it can be used to polish the small world with twice the result with half the effort. Zhu Qilan will purchase new supplies every few days.
"Okay, that's all for today."
Lu Bei wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, held his waist and stretched it a bit, then turned his head to look at the Yu housekeeper who was waiting on the side: "Should we stay here or go to the bathroom? Sister Yu, you have the final say, I dare not object."
Butler Yu rolled his eyes at Lu Bei. It would be embarrassing to ask such a question. It would be embarrassing to practice dual cultivation in front of His Highness. He must be going to the bathroom!
At this time, Zhu Qilan spoke, frowning and saying something, dissatisfied with the reduction in the share of innate Qi today.
"It's a lot. I need it myself, and Sister Yu will also give me a portion. Cousin, don't be too greedy. Take care of my body." Lu Bei criticized and educated her.
Before coming here, I delivered a lot of goods to She Xuan. People born in the Year of the Snake were too clingy, and the shelves were cleared out before I knew it.
That's because he is young and energetic, with strong recovery ability, otherwise Zhu Qilan wouldn't be able to get a single drop.
After hearing Lu Bei's explanation, Zhu Qilan nodded and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. However, she also listened to some of what her Eighth Aunt Zhu Wenlan said and said bluntly, "The Elders' Council is a little dissatisfied with you leading troops to explore the secret realm. You can use the manpower of the Xuanyin Division to work for the Huangji Sect, but next time you are not allowed to wear the official uniform of the Xuanyin Division, so that everyone can get away with it."
"Next time, for sure."
"Also, according to the guard's steward, there is a beautiful woman by your side, and she is very close to you."
Zhu Qilan spoke quickly and without hiding anything: "Who is that person? Why have I never heard you mention him?"
"My eldest brother."
"Um?"
"You may not believe it, but that beautiful lady is a man."
As he spoke, Lu Bei took out a jade slip from his bosom, which recorded the scene of him and Hu San arm in arm. Their every frown and smile made Zhu Qilan silent, and Butler Yu wiped tears.
"A real man with a dick."
Lu Bei pointed at Fox Three on the screen and sighed, "The reason why I don't like women is all thanks to my elder brother. Compared to him, you, cousin, are just... ahem. Anyway, next time you hear any rumors, just ignore them. Just ask my elder brother."
Zhu Qilan's eyes twitched, and he thought to himself that it was an eyesore, and asked Lu Bei to put the jade slip away quickly. It was unknown what he was thinking of, and he stared at Lu Bei for a long time, wanting to say something but stopping himself, wanting to say something again.
"What are you thinking? I just don't like women, not that I don't like them."
Lu Bei curled his lips, pulled Housekeeper Yu next to him, and kissed her hard on the face: "Right, the facts are in front of us, I'm not that kind of person."
Butler Yu was so embarrassed that he just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. He didn't know where to put his hands and feet. He looked at Zhu Qilan in a daze and ran out of the study.
Zhu Qilan had a headache and felt a little sour in his heart. He skipped the topic of the handsome elder brother and asked, "What results did you get from exploring the secret realm of the nameless mountains? The guard said that your men razed the secret realm to the ground and didn't let a single ghost go."
"Speaking of secret realms, there are indeed some problems."
Lu Bei's face turned serious, and he told Zhu Qilan about the mysterious old Taoist's background. Except for the women's inner armor, he explained everything else clearly, including the black unicorn bloodline.
Zhu Qilan looked at the crystal bottle in front of him and waved his hand to let Lu Bei take it back: "You keep it for yourself, maybe it will come in handy in the future. I won't mention it in the report."
"That old Taoist priest's whereabouts are strange. No matter how you look at it, there is something wrong with him."
Lu Bei gave an appropriate reminder: "Speaking of him, I think of the demon monk Zhiyuan in the Four Gods Lake Secret Realm. He also appeared strangely, as if they were already in the secret realm before it appeared in the world."
Zhu Qilan shook his head. Like Lu Bei, he lacked intelligence and was unable to infer too much information. He could only write the matter into the report and let the Council of Elders worry about it.
If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. As for people like them, they can just cling to the big trees and suck more blood.
"By the way, stay quiet for the time being, don't leave the Three States, and don't go to Luzhou."
Zhu Qilan glanced at Lu Bei and said, "Something is wrong with the Iron Sword Alliance, especially the Heavenly Sword Sect. I don't know who is there. The mountain gate is heavily guarded, and the undercover agent of the Royal Extreme Sect has already lost contact."
"Detailed."
Lu Bei's heart skipped a beat, thinking that something was not right. It was not surprising that the Huangji Sect had undercover agents in the Tianjian Sect. The Tianjian Sect itself knew this very well, and in order to maintain a harmonious appearance, the Tianjian Sect turned a blind eye to these undercover agents and had not made any noise until now.
Now suddenly start...
Are we going to rebel in advance
That’s not right. There are no butterfly wings causing trouble. Why are these people crazy
