"What ti?" Lu Jin'an looked into Xiao Yinruo's peach blossom eyes and asked softly.
"Hmm... late afternoon."
"Then we still have an hour." Lu Jin'an said softly.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yinruo's expression changed slightly: "I haven't finished, wait..."
Before she finished speaking, her peach blossom eyes widened of their own accord, revealing an indescribable allure.
The slender arm gradually curved, sliding down to Lu Jin'an's forearm, hesitant but welcoming.
The long legs resting on the Beauty Couch slowly slid to the floor, her toes lightly touching.
······
"Phew..."
Lu Jin'an erged from the hot spring pool again, gathering his wet long hair, and said with a smile: "Aunt Ruo, it's ti to get dressed."
"Hmm..."
At the edge of the hot spring pool, Xiao Yinruo's head rested on her crossed arms, responding weakly, her black hair floating like lotus petals on the water's surface, creating a dreamy and serene beauty.
Her pair of long, shapely legs, slightly trembling and seemingly out of control, were barely visible beneath the rippling water.
With her eyes closed, she didn't want to think about anything. Even as a significant figure of the ti, she really wished for a beautiful sleep at the mont.
But, the tasks weren't finished yet...
Xiao Yinruo, with a weary expression, slightly opened her eyes, looking at Lu Jin'an dressing himself, unable to resist biting her lower lip. Despite his injuries, he seed more energetic than ever!
By now, Lu Jin'an had dressed himself and returned to the edge of the hot spring pool, pulling Aunt Ruo into his arms while drying her with a spell: "Aunt Ruo, let dress you."
"Hmm..." Xiao Yinruo, with a satisfied expression, squinted her peach blossom eyes, her voice soft: "Are you sure you can dress properly?"
"I can." Lu Jin'an replied confidently, as he had often helped his older sister dress when he was younger.
Besides, Aunt Ruo's style is simpler compared to the luxurious attire of Master, making it easier to dress her.
Sitting on the Beauty Couch, Xiao Yinruo allowed Lu Jin'an to dress her: "Rember the chest wrap..."
"Hmm."
"Why are you still so energetic?" Xiao Yinruo finally asked, unable to resist.
Lu Jin'an smiled: "Because I'm a Body Cultivator."
Xiao Yinruo gave him a scornful look: "Speak honestly."
"I'm using the Dragon and Phoenix Attraction Technique." Lu Jin'an answered honestly: "Of course, I haven't absorbed yin energy, as Aunt Ruo, the leftover from you is sufficient.
And, the Yin Qi left for by the Master hasn't been fully refined."
When crossing the Body Tribulation in the Southern Great Realm, he gained considerable opportunities, so the yin energy sealed in his Spirit Sea by the Master hadn't been used.
As for earlier, he did use so, considering that he wouldn't need much for future tribulations and there's a long ti before the next Dao Palace breakthrough.
"You're cheating!" Xiao Yinruo glared at him discontentedly.
"If you say so, then aren't you practicing Divine Concealnt?" Lu Jin'an grinned cheekily, lifting Xiao Yinruo's ankle to help her with her underpants.
Xiao Yinruo still humd discontentedly but was too tired to open her mouth.
After dressing her, Lu Jin'an moved behind to help with her hair: "Aunt Ruo, shall I do your usual hairstyle?"
"Hmm..."
Lu Jin'an then styled her long hair partially bundled and half released, securing it with the White Jade Peach Blossom Hairpin she handed over.
"Do you want to rest a bit more?" he asked softly.
"Just hold for a while."
"Alright..."
······
At the auction venue, the manager of the Qilin Treasure House stood on the auction platform, staring blankly at the attendees with cooling tea.
No way, Palace Master Xiao didn't bid on any of those Divine Soul treasures?
What was the point of extending the auction ti?
She couldn't help but glance at the topmost box, filled with doubt in her heart.
Had all her predictions been wrong?
If that's the case, then why did Palace Master Xiao seriously instruct to extend the ti?
"It's really strange..."
The woman muttered to herself, then saw a maid hurrying over, whispering in her ear: "Sect Master Qi has arrived."
"Sect Master Qi?" the woman was stunned: "Which Sect Master Qi?"
"Sect Master Qi of Lin Yuan Sword Sect." The maid replied quickly: "And Vice Palace Master Yi and Vice Palace Master Gu of Qingmiao Palace."
The woman's expression froze again, so this was Palace Master Xiao's objective all along?
If so, why co to the auction venue early in the morning?
The woman couldn't figure it out, but instead of contemplating further, she hurriedly went outside, ready to welco them.
Inside the box, Xiao Yinruo supported herself with Lu Jin'an's arm to stand up, managing a glare at him even with her body still feeling a languid numbness.
The sensation was enjoyable initially but at such a mont, she perford a spell to relieve her fatigue slightly.
Lu Jin'an smiled without speaking, and Xiao Yinruo went on to tidy up the remnants of their fight within the room using a spell. Of course, the dress and silk stockings were stored in the Storage Ring.
Finally, after evaporating the water from the hot spring pool, she restored her tranquil deanor, bringing Lu Jin'an to the backyard of the Qilin Treasure House.
"Your aim wasn't on those Divine Soul treasures either." Lu Jin'an maintained a respectful distance as a junior with Xiao Yinruo and asked softly: "Will the Ling Queen definitely bring the Cangming Soul River?"
"Yes." Xiao Yinruo replied calmly, prompting Lu Jin'an to look at her twice.
This was one of the reasons he was enchanted and felt like falling together with Aunt Ruo.
"Stop staring." Xiao Yinruo glanced at him sideways: "I'm struggling just as much."
