Chapter 493: Chapter 234: "Jin’an is tough, what about Yinruo?"_3
"If I didn’t agree at the time, she would have knocked me out and taken me away."
"Nonsense!" Xiao Yinruo instinctively retorted, "Our Nanzhi has always been very well-behaved, and besides, she hasn’t left Qingmiao Palace much before, she doesn’t know the ways of the world at all!"
"That’s because you don’t know her." Lu Jin’an said, "When I first got along with her, she was indeed respectful and even gave me a monthly salary every month to support me..."
"So good to you?" Xiao Yinruo’s eyes flashed with surprise, "Why?"
"She said I was handsome." Lu Jin’an’s eyes twinkled with amusement, "Handsome to the core of her heart."
?
Xiao Yinruo knew that Nanzhi once said that "husband is really handsome", but she always thought that was just a first impression. There must be other reasons why Nanzhi truly fell for Jin’an.
But now...
"Just like that?"
"Yes." Lu Jin’an sighed, "Just because I’m handsome, she wanted to marry me, and then six months after the wedding, she asked me to drink...
I thought she was going to get me drunk for some ulterior motive, so I played along, pretending to be drunk to see what she really wanted, and in the end..."
"What happened in the end?" Xiao Yinruo asked with curiosity.
Lu Jin’an looked at Xiao Yinruo and seriously said, "She helped me to the bed and then took my body."
"..."
Xiao Yinruo was speechless, feeling that the one actually being taken advantage of was Jin’an?
A ridiculous thought of a Qingmiao Palace’s well-brought-up Holy Daughter going to a small place to snatch a local beautiful ’civilian man’ floated in her mind.
She turned her head to look at Lu Jin’an, this child is indeed handsome, but Nanzhi’s actions are even more absurd.
Xiao Yinruo really didn’t know that the Nanzhi she raised with her own hands was so ’superficial’.
"Aunt Ruo." Lu Jin’an asked curiously, "What was the trial when Nanzhi entered the world of mortals?"
"She never said, but it definitely wasn’t about romance." Xiao Yinruo looked forward again, "She didn’t follow the worldly method Zhan Ming suggested.
But the place Zhan Ming chose to enter the world was the Nanzhuo Domain, and then she met you... perhaps it’s destiny’s mysterious way."
"Indeed." Lu Jin’an nodded, "Speaking of which, although Nanzhi took the initiative, I actually benefitted."
"Right?" Xiao Yinruo said blandly, "Your Yuan Yang was long gone, yet Nanzhi gave you her Yuan Yin.
To put it harshly, a Pristine Immortal Body is still an excellent cauldron. Even without learning Dual Cultivation Techniques, taking her Yuan Yin is very beneficial to you, so you should secretly rejoice."
Hearing this, Lu Jin’an’s heart moved slightly, so perhaps his early success in reversing the river of time owed a part to Nanzhi?
Of course, Lu Jin’an would never mention almost being turned into a Sword Spirit by Nanzhi, just in case Aunt Ruo slips while drinking with Master one day?
Xiao Yinruo glanced at Lu Jin’an, her red lips moved but she suppressed her thoughts.
When Nanzhi returned to Qingmiao Palace, she mentioned almost refining Jin’an into a Lifebound Sword Spirit, so... how did Jin’an escape?
It couldn’t be that Nanzhi voluntarily let Jin’an go.
She recalled the spell in the Qingmiao Palace Library Pavilion about turning one’s beloved into a Sword Spirit... Nanzhi had surely read it, so to be safe, she must have poisoned Jin’an.
So how did the poisoned Jin’an escape Nanzhi and render her powerless?
As she thought about it, Xiao Yinruo chuckled and shook her head, questioning why she was worrying so much about these two young people’s matters.
Anyway, the relationship between Jin’an and Nanzhi is good now, and Jin’an doesn’t mind what happened back then, so there’s no need to ask further.
However, using the ’Body-locking Curse’ spell on Jin’an, who’s in the Tongsheng Realm, should not be easy.
Xiao Yinruo squinted her eyes slightly and just heard Lu Jin’an suddenly say, "Indeed I benefitted, but Nanzhi is also very greedy. After that night, even during her monthly times, she wouldn’t let me go."
With slightly flushed cheeks, Xiao Yinruo glared at Lu Jin’an, "I’m not interested in such matters between you two, so you don’t need to say more."
Lu Jin’an’s gaze lingered for a few seconds on the blush on her cheeks before withdrawing.
’Aunt Ruo doesn’t quite resemble someone cultivating the Forget Love Path in such matters...’
Lu Jin’an didn’t think much more, just attributing it to Aunt Ruo’s lack of experience.
"I mean you might advise her subtly." Lu Jin’an jokingly said, "If she gets pregnant, it won’t be good, now is not the time."
When he mentioned ’pregnancy’, Xiao Yinruo involuntarily recalled the scene on the Flying Boat peeking at Wanyu.
Clearly the noble Black Phoenix, yet that night like a milk cow...
If Nanzhi gets pregnant, will she be like Wanyu...
Xiao Yinruo hurriedly stopped that thought, calming her voice, "I understand."
Lu Jin’an said no more, following Xiao Yinruo along, moving on the mountain trail gradually clear from the gorge, slowing his pace as she did.
Lu Jin’an turned to glance at Xiao Yinruo, following her gaze ahead.
And saw a line of words written on a boulder ahead: My name is Hao Yuan, as my life nears its end, I enter the Golden Dragon Soul Valley to seek a chance to break through, glimpsing the hope of life.
Lu Jin’an felt slightly surprised, as after entering the Buddha Burial Valley, all the words he had seen were in Sanskrit, and it was the first time he encountered normal script.
"Hao Yuan..." Lu Jin’an had seen this name in books, an Immortal at the early stage of the Divine Concealing Realm, who died thirty thousand years ago, before the Hundred Clans struggle had yet to happen.
"Aunt Ruo." Lu Jin’an quietly asked, "The nearing life’s end he mentioned, actually was still a long time away, right?"
"Yes." Xiao Yinruo nodded, "If truly at the brink of death, how could one have the energy to find hope?"
