Zhiyu was kneeling on the chair, devouring food heartily. The warmth from the heater cast a glow on Lu Jin'an's half-bodied silhouette. He was eating an orange while reading the golden parchnt in his hands, feeling drowsy.
Zhu Nanzhi's gaze occasionally flitted over his profile, but now, it naturally wasn't filled with the sa thoughts as in the Nanzhuo Domain.
She couldn't help but smile at the mory of her plan to forge her husband into a Sword Spirit.
Indeed, she preferred her husband alive and whole.
This mont was exactly the beautiful picture she had imagined countless tis.
Zhu Nanzhi pressed her fingers onto the zither strings, stood up, and walked over to Lu Jin'an, draping the Fox Fur Cloak over him.
She squatted beside him, folding her arms on the armrest of the rocking chair, tilted her head, and watched his sleeping face. After a while, she gently placed his hand on her side profile.
So warm.

Under the eaves outside the Qingmiao Palace, Xiao Yinruo, dressed in a white dress, watched the snowflakes start to fall again, suddenly feeling a chill.
She hadn't changed her underpants.
Xiao Yinruo glanced at the island where Tingquan Small House was located, wishing that the child could stay a little longer...
She turned to look at the Palace Master's seat facing south inside the Qingmiao Palace, her peach blossom eyes flashing with ambiguous aning.
"Palace Master, good news!"
Gu Chenxi rushed over, unable to hide the joy on his face: "The battle report from Two Realms Pass, the main army of the Demon Clan has retreated over a hundred miles, and that demon from the Ancient Court has personally co to Two Realms Pass to talk with Sect Master Zheng."
"Hmm?" Xiao Yinruo imdiately turned her head: "What about?"
"There hasn't been a result yet." Gu Chenxi shook his head: "But it seems to be related to a truce."
Although Xiao Yinruo was delighted by the news, she didn't dare let her guard down, suspecting ulterior motives.
"Keep an eye on it, I want to know the situation imdiately."
"Understood."
Gu Chenxi quickly left, but soon returned, this ti with a more solemn expression.
"Palace Master..." Gu Chenxi transmitted with a sowhat complicated expression: "The Spirit Queen wants to et you."
"Her?"
Xiao Yinruo's eyes glimred with surprise. The Spirit Queen was Ling Haozi's legitimate wife and had long achieved the realm of Spirit Saint, but she had always stayed at the Spirit Clan's rear, and her visits to Dingbei Pass were few and far between.
Ling Haozi had just retreated, what did this woman intend to do?
Couldn't it be to deliver the "Soul Book?"
"Bring her to the Purple Bamboo Pond, and aside from you, don't let anyone else know about this."
"Understood."
————
Inside the Purple Bamboo Pond.
Having changed into a new outfit, Xiao Yinruo watched as the Spirit Queen, dressed in a silver-white long dress, approached with dignity, her eyes glinting with surprise.
The surprise wasn't that the Spirit Queen dared to enter Qingmiao Palace but what she was holding...
Half of the "Soul Book."
With translucent eyes, the Spirit Queen smiled at Xiao Yinruo and gradually stopped: "Palace Master Xiao, long ti no see."
Xiao Yinruo looked into the Spirit Queen's eyes: "Have you ascended?"
"My husband treats well." The Spirit Queen said slowly: "But this ti, he's prepared to concede, so he specifically sent with half of the Soul Book."
"Concede?" Xiao Yinruo watched her without showing emotion: "Because of Jin'an?"
"Not entirely." The Spirit Queen slightly raised her hand, presenting half of the "Soul Book" to Xiao Yinruo: "But that young man has indeed grown to a level that demands caution, so...
My husband wants to take a gamble."
The Spirit Queen said softly: "With this half of the 'Soul Book,' he wants to bet on a future where the Human Clan becos the Cloud Peak Master."
