"Let tell you, every day I draw my husband, at least one piece."
As Zhu Nanzhi painted, she boasted to Mu Qingyue, "After returning to Qingmiao Palace, I also learned other crafts."
Crafts?
Mu Qingyue slightly frowned, was it that kind of craft?
While pondering, she saw Zhu Nanzhi take out a lifelike jade carving of a Junior Brother and place it on the table, "Isn’t it beautiful? Carving is actually quite difficult, but it didn’t stop from mastering the skill, hmm hmm~"
"And there’s woodworking." As Zhu Nanzhi spoke, she took out another wood carving of Lu Jin’an resembling a figurine and placed it on the table.
Glimpsing at Mu Qingyue, she proclaid proudly, "These are all because of my affection for my husband, oh~"
The scent of the wood carving wafted, and the jade carving was crystal clear.
Mu Qingyue fell silent... In fact, the disciples of the Wandao Sect who saw these two ’artworks’ also fell silent.
Not because they were stunned by the Holy Daughter’s crafts but because of the materials used.
"Second Senior Brother, isn’t that the Tao Tribulation Dried Dragon Wood which only appears after a giant dragon falls?"
"Yes." Jiang Wuya remained silent, as the Tao Tribulation Dried Dragon Wood could help cultivators at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage withstand a heavenly tribulation, making it an extrely precious rare treasure.
"And the jade is Evergreen Stone Milk, right?"
"Yes." Jiang Wuya continued to nod. Evergreen Stone Milk is equally precious because it can extend the lifespan of cultivators at the Unity Realm Stage.
Yet, these two treasures... were used by the Saintess Zhu in this way, it’s simply, simply...
Mu Qingyue voiced the sentint of all the direct disciples, "You’re really extravagant."
"Is it extravagant to use it on matters related to my husband?" Zhu Nanzhi tilted her head, "Oh~ these are mine. I didn’t seize anyone else’s cultivation resources."
Mu Qingyue felt that she understood Zhu Nanzhi more deeply... Especially regarding her fondness for Junior Brother.
This Saintess of Qingmiao Palace has feelings for Junior Brother that are a bit abnormal.
Which couple, when getting along normally, would be both extravagant and unaware of wasting ti doing such things?
"Are you envious?" Zhu Nanzhi glanced at Lu Jin’an, huffed lightly, "Even if you are, it’s no use. I won’t give it to you~"
"Not envious." Mu Qingyue said calmly, "I have them too."
"You can carve too?" Zhu Nanzhi looked at Mu Qingyue, slightly surprised, "Let see what you’ve carved."
’Is she, like an iceberg, also so infatuated with my husband?’
Zhu Nanzhi suspiciously looked at Mu Qingyue, only to hear Mu Qingyue’s tone change slightly, "I can’t carve, but I have other... treasures of Junior Brother."
"What is it?" Zhu Nanzhi asked carelessly, "Let see how valuable it is."
"It’s not appropriate here."
"Why?" Inside, Zhu Nanzhi grew more suspicious, "I’ve let you see mine, why won’t you let see yours?"
"It’s not appropriate." Mu Qingyue picked up a ceremonial invitation again, her mind also filled with suspicion.
Earlier, Zhu Nanzhi was so aggressive. Why is she now so amiable?
Recalling what she said earlier, "Husband is not wrong," she couldn’t help but wonder if it was actually the case that Zhu Nanzhi was indeed a good person?
’Not appropriate? Why not appropriate?’
Zhu Nanzhi bit her lip, was it because the treasure was not to be seen? And it was unseen because it was private?
She sneakily glanced at the storage space worn on Mu Qingyue’s wrist, curiosity and urgency filled her heart.
But if Mu Qingyue says "not appropriate," she can’t...
Hmm?
’What she seed to say was that here is not appropriate, not that she won’t show .’
Thinking of this, Zhu Nanzhi suppressed her anxious feelings, softly said, "Then later when husband is done, after returning to Taichu Peak, can you show ?"
Mu Qingyue turned her head to ’look’ at Zhu Nanzhi with a smile and a sweet classical deanor. After a while, she lightly nodded with an "en."
Zhu Nanzhi might really be a good person.
"Thank you~" Zhu Nanzhi smiled even more, she turned back to put away the two carvings on the table, the azure eyes partly hidden by a few strands of frontal hair appearing vaguely profound.
She thought her husband was certainly forced by his master, so to change this dynamic, she needed to start with Mu Qingyue.
Approach Mu Qingyue, then make her understand that her husband does not like ’orders from elders or matchmaking,’ and hence instigate Mu Qingyue to grow a mindset of competing for her husband based on feelings.
At this ti, Mu Qingyue would certainly argue with Senior Pei, letting Senior Pei not force the betrothal on her husband.
This would take so ti.
Once they are embroiled in a heated dispute due to her ’plan to drive daughter to devour mother’ and eventually force Senior Pei to compromise, by then, she would have developed a closer relationship with her husband.
Once Senior Pei, the ’shackle,’ is gone, her husband would be hers.
As for whether Senior Pei would go back on her word... hmm, let Master step in.
As the Deputy Sect Master of the Wandao Sect, Pei Wanyu certainly values face, thus pressuring her to release her husband should work.
Once her husband and she return to Qingmiao Palace, the dust will settle.
’Husband will definitely go with . If he truly had feelings for Mu Qingyue, given his character, Mu Qingyue’s virginity mark would have been erased.’
Zhu Nanzhi’s lips curled into a smile, feeling much lifted, she continued painting, occasionally glancing at Lu Jin’an.
While looking, at so point, she suddenly t his gaze, causing her smile to stiffen slightly.
Because she suddenly rembered her ’Holy Maiden Fall’ plan.
If she now appeared so sweet, would her husband still have the urge to punish the Cold Saintess?
Thinking of this, Zhu Nanzhi lowered her head, quickly pondered her redy, and soon had an idea.
As the sun reached its peak, after Lu Jin’an confird that all human and friendly non-human guests had arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the table, about to bring them back to Taichu Peak, but Zhu Nanzhi eagerly stood up first.
"Husband~ Look at what I just drew~ Isn’t it beautiful?"
Lu Jin’an glanced at the painting. It wasn’t like he hadn’t seen Nanzhi’s masterpieces before; he rely thought her painting skills had improved and was about to praise her. She spoke again.
"Husband~ I can not only draw but also carve~"
"Husband, you see I..."
Zhu Nanzhi’s repeated "husband" drew ambiguous glances from the Junior Brothers and Sisters, and Senior Sister’s expression seed to cool a few degrees.
After a mont of silence, Lu Jin’an spoke, "Nanzhi, you..."
As if knowing what Lu Jin’an wanted to say, Zhu Nanzhi interrupted him once again, her face slightly dim, a mix of grievance and anger in her tone, "I’m sorry... I... I just missed you too much..."
As her words fell, before Lu Jin’an could speak, she turned around with the painting scroll, giving Lu Jin’an a look full of grievance and irritation, then left behind a cold, hastily departing figure.
"Holy Daughter, wait for ..."
Han Wu hurriedly followed, carrying Zhan Ming, not forgetting to glare at Lu Jin’an.
Lu Jin’an opened his mouth, sowhat bewildered.
He thought he understood Nanzhi enough, but now... he really didn’t know what she was thinking.
"Junior Brother." Mu Qingyue dragged Lu Jin’an by the hand and took a step, "Let’s catch up with her first."
"Hmm!?"
Already not very clear about Senior Sister’s thoughts, Lu Jin’an found these words even more puzzling.
What happened?
