The matters of the Northern and Southern realms have kept Pei Wanyu very busy lately, and the vast amount of intelligence work has left her with no ti to think about anything other than Qingyue's Crossing Tribulation.
She specifically called Chunyu back to act as her assistant.
Qiu Ye, apart from clearing the accumulated snow every day, busies herself with preparing three als for Zhiyu, but once the als are ready, she keeps her distance.
It's because Zhiyu's curious gaze occasionally looking at her makes her feel apprehensive.
So when Lu Jin'an returned to Taichu Peak, he saw Zhiyu squatting at the edge of the cliff, covered with a layer of snow, resembling a little snowman as she cautiously yet curiously observed the golden snub-nosed monkey group in the forest below.
Lu Jin'an quietly approached her, but before he could speak, Zhiyu had already turned her head, her heterochromatic eyes lighting up instantly, and she gently clapped her little hands: "Great King!"
Hmm?
There was a flash of confusion in Lu Jin'an's eyes, why did the title change?
As he pondered how to respond, he saw Zhiyu running "thump thump thump" to a nearby tree, digging furiously.
Lu Jin'an, curious, followed her, and saw Zhiyu with hands dirty with soil, digging out a branch from the ground that looked remarkably like a sword.
His gaze instinctively brightened, but then turned to astonishnt in the next mont.
Because Zhiyu, holding the branch with both hands, knelt directly in front of him, her childish voice extrely cute.
"Great King, ten thousand years, ten thousand years!"
Hmm?
There was another flash of confusion in Lu Jin'an's eyes, isn't this silly one only interested in eating? How co she likes to play too?
And where did she learn this from?
Looking at Zhiyu raising her head with an expectant gulping sound, Lu Jin'an's heart stirred, and his Divine Sense imdiately reached out to the golden snub-nosed monkey group on the mountainside.
This group of golden snub-nosed monkeys was naturally not ordinary monkeys, but spiritual monkeys capable of human speech.
This spiritual monkey group has resided at the waist of Taichu Peak for many years, able to descend the mountain but unable to reach the mountaintop due to the Master's Barrier.
At this mont, in his perception, a low-status spiritual monkey within the golden snub-nosed monkey group was offering treasures to the Great King, who in return bestowed... Spirit Fruits.
Lu Jin'an suddenly understood that Zhiyu had learned from this group of golden snub-nosed monkeys to trade treasures for tasty treats.
"Great King, ten thousand years, ten thousand years!"
Seeing Lu Jin'an silent for a long ti, Zhiyu, kneeling on the ground, shuffled forward two steps with her knees, and while flattering, her gaze beca even more expectant.
Lu Jin'an withdrew his Divine Sense and looked at the little girl in front of him with amusent, her cheeks slightly red from the winter snow, appearing exceedingly adorable.
Alright, cuteness is justice.
Lu Jin'an cleared his throat and mimicked the lines he didn't know where the Great King golden snub-nosed monkey had learned, waving his big hand as he accepted the 'sword' from Zhiyu: "Beloved minister, you may rise."
Seeing the 'Great King' accept the branch, Zhiyu's eyes lit up with joy, and then she suddenly perford a full-body prostration, her tail swaying and causing the falling snowflakes to drift away.
Her childish voice was especially cute amid the wind and snow.
"Thank you, Great King, ten thousand years, ten thousand years!"
Lu Jin'an couldn't help but chuckle; being the emperor was indeed quite fun, if he truly beca one...
It would definitely be even more thrilling.
Watching Zhiyu climb up from the ground with her hands and feet, revealing an expectant expression while stretching out her dirty little hands, Lu Jin'an couldn't help but pat her little head and help brush off the snow: "Co, I'll prepare a big feast for you."
"Yay!" Zhiyu, receiving the expected answer, circled around Lu Jin'an's steps in the snow with "Great King, ten thousand years, ten thousand years" spilling from her mouth.
Lu Jin'an, infected by Zhiyu's happiness, involuntarily laughed out loud, and the entire Taichu Hall seed a bit more cheerful.
Zhiyu ran into the main entrance of Taichu Hall ahead of Lu Jin'an, then quickly turned around and ran back: "Mas... Great King..."
"What's the matter?"
Zhiyu grasped her skirt hesitantly and asked cautiously: "Great King, could you grant Zhiyu so cake to eat?"
"Alright."
"Then, then, then..." Zhiyu gripped her skirt even tighter: "Could you please make it not so hard for Zhiyu to eat?"
Lu Jin'an thought for a mont and said: "I'll make you a six-layer big cake, but I'll also apply Space Rules, although this ti it's a review."
"Review?" Zhiyu tilted her head, looking at him, not understanding.
Lu Jin'an didn't explain further: "Do you agree?"
Zhiyu pondered for a while and then lowered her head in defeat: "Then, alright..."
Saying this, she glanced at the branch in Lu Jin'an's hand, thinking she must find sothing more fun to offer to Mas... the Great King next ti.
Lu Jin'an patted her head, changing the subject: "Why did you want to give this?"
While speaking, he waved the thick, sword-like branch in his hand.
"Looks nice." Zhiyu replied quickly: "Zhiyu likes it."
"I like it too." Lu Jin'an lifted the 'sword'; the trees in Taichu Hall were naturally not ordinary large trees, and the quality of this branch already reached the grade of a high-level Spiritual Artifact, with considerable power.
However, to him, clearly, it wasn't enough, but since it was given by Zhiyu, it had quite the collection value.
"So, so Zhiyu also wants to eat beggar's chicken." Zhiyu rubbed her little hands: "Can, can I?"
"Sure."
"Two, two, can I have two?"
"No."
"Oh!"
Zhiyu's perked-up tail drooped down again, but she wasn't too disheartened; soon, she was happily running around because of the joy of getting to eat a feast, leaving a trail of bare little footprints in the snow.
Lu Jin'an instinctively opened his mouth but then shook his head silently; although Zhiyu still couldn't control her power, the physique of the Candle Dragon was evident...
