Looking at the mirage of Zhiyu curiously inspecting on the Communication Compass, Lu Jin'an realized he had made a mistake.
He should have applied a set of Space Rules to every layer of the cake, each layer more difficult than the last, that way Zhiyu wouldn't have finished it so quickly.
Yet he couldn't help but soften seeing her cry so sadly back then.
In this aspect, he ought to learn from his older sister, whose heart was considerably harder when teaching him cultivation.
But this little loli Zhiyu really had 'a special fondness' for him; even though she promised not to eat his head, as soon as he appeared smaller under the Communication Compass's function, she unhesitatingly opened her mouth to bite.
People aren't made of delicious food, what a silly girl.
Yet, Lu Jin'an did not imdiately return, for he still had quite a bit of preparation to do, besides, Zhiyu wouldn't actually starve to death.
So he casually coaxed Zhiyu a few tis, promised to give her a good al in a few days, then set aside the Communication Compass and continued refining the Array Talisman.
The Jump Talisman was essential in his preparation.
······
"Yummy, yummy, yummy... oh!"
Understanding the promise, Zhiyu gleefully circled around the table, even after accidentally slipping and lying flat on the floor, she quickly got up the next second to continue her rounds.
Sitting on Qiu Qingtang's shoulder, Xiao Li widened her eyes at this scene, thinking how silly it looked~
Just as she was thinking, Zhiyu suddenly ran to her master Qiu Qingtang, looked up and pointed at Xiao Li: "It slls good, want to eat."
While speaking, Zhiyu turned to Pei Wanyu as if expecting the master's master to assist her.
The startled Xiao Li fluffed up and hid behind Qiu Qingtang's back with a sowhat anxious expression.
This little girl who appeared even smaller than her was a dragon after all.
But her master was also a fox spirit, so why didn't she say she wanted to eat the master?
Xiao Li was curious, but she dared not look.
Qiu Qingtang looked down at the Little Candle Dragon, seeing her sneak peeks at her occasionally, she found it amusing.
This little thing only bullies the weak?
Truly devoid of any majesty of the Dragon Clan, yet... so adorable.
Qiu Qingtang squatted down and pinched Zhiyu's little cheeks: "How about older sister takes you for sothing delicious?"
Clearly, she already knew this Little Candle Dragon was a foodie.
Upon hearing the word 'delicious', Zhiyu's tail perked up, but just as Pei Wanyu was about to speak, she saw Zhiyu, with her cheeks covered, adorably and softly said: "Could you bring the delicious food here for Zhiyu?"
Qiu Qingtang felt a bit surprised; although this Little Candle Dragon was silly, did she actually require offerings when it ca to food?
But this soft-spoken tone didn't quite fit that idea.
Thinking it over, Qiu Qingtang smiled slightly, continuing to tempt: "Even tastier than what you just ate, want to go with older sister?"
Upon hearing this, Zhiyu instinctively took a small step forward: "Eat..."
Just as Qiu Qingtang's eyes lit up, she saw Zhiyu suddenly retreat to her original spot, shaking her head like a rattling drum.
"Bring it to Zhiyu." Zhiyu earnestly watched Qiu Qingtang, thinking if it wasn't as good as the master's, wouldn't Zhiyu be deceived?
Hmph~ Zhiyu was tricked by Jun Ling before, never falling for it again.
Qiu Qingtang gave a helpless smile; this little silly dragon was really cunning in this aspect.
Pei Wanyu felt relieved, her good disciple's feeding was still effective, as Zhiyu wouldn't just run off with strangers upon hearing about food.
Qiu Qingtang was about to continue speaking when Pei Wanyu interjected: "Jin'an isn't here right now."
"Ah, I see..." Qiu Qingtang's eyes showed a hint of regret, but she quickly changed her tune: "I primarily ca to see her today."
Pei Wanyu didn't believe it for a second; otherwise, what had Qiu Qingtang been doing earlier?
Though Jin'an had only gone to Yun ng Cliff yesterday, and today this little fox was back... who knows what Jin'an had said.
"Since Young Master Lu is not here, I shall take my leave first." As she stood up, Qiu Qingtang gave Zhiyu's Dragon Horn a pinch: "You really won't go get sothing tasty with older sister?"
Zhiyu swiftly ran behind Pei Wanyu, peeking out with her small head and silently stared at Qiu Qingtang.
This stranger kept talking about taking her to eat good food but never ntioned bringing it here, surely there wasn't any good food.
Zhiyu wouldn't be deceived, hmph!
Feeling clever, Zhiyu made a face at Qiu Qingtang, then squatted on the ground playing with the packed snow.
Qiu Qingtang smiled silently, gave Pei Wanyu a bow, and then turned to leave.
Walking up the steps of Taichu Peak, Xiao Li quickly transford and followed beside Qiu Qingtang, softly asking: "Master, where are we going?"
"Didn't I say yesterday that Young Master Lu doesn't have a significant figure in his heart, right?"
"Uh-huh." Xiao Li nodded vigorously, waiting to hear more.
"So..." Qiu Qingtang said aningfully: "That position is vacant."
Xiao Li looked up at Qiu Qingtang, sowhat deeply: "I don't understand!"
Qiu Qingtang lightly lifted her skirt: "You don't need to speak out of turn, just watch.
Been at the Wandao Sect for quite a while now, so progress should be made."
"Progress on what?"
Behind Qiu Qingtang, six fox tails erged, her mouth curved with a smile, but her eyes were sharp, her voice cheerful.
She hopped down the stone steps: "Naturally to exchange learning, to see the Wandao Sect's prowess."
······
Rolling a snowball, Zhiyu shouldn't be hungry for now, too bad she couldn't get her good disciple to co back.
But to Pei Wanyu, whether or not her good disciple returned imdiately wasn't the most pressing matter, as she had her own unfinished business to attend to.
