Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 974 - 406: He Wouldn’t Want to Do It on Horseback, Would He? (Part 2)

"Hoo..."

After a while, Dongfang Xinglan clutched the fabric behind Lu Jin'an, gently struggling, "Don't... don't kiss anymore... I can't breathe... hm..."

Cre-eak...

The door behind them made a louder sound, and Dongfang Xinglan's knees under her skirt slightly buckled, feeling her legs inexplicably become weak.

This feeling was the first time. Clearly, when she had initiated the kiss before, it didn't feel like this... strange sensation.

Why is this happening?

With her cheeks gradually tinged with red, Dongfang Xinglan slightly opened her dreamy eyes. Her right hand, which was originally on Lu Jin'an's back, was now on his shoulder, clutching his collar. Her fingers curled and relaxed, as if wanting to pull him back yet carrying a certain shy reluctance.

"Mm... I... I can't take it anymore..."

Dongfang Xinglan suddenly pursed her lips and gasped for air, resting her forehead against Lu Jin'an's chest, her delicate body trembling slightly.

Lu Jin'an wrapped one arm around her waist to prevent her from collapsing to the ground.

"You... you..." Dongfang Xinglan lifted her gaze, giving him a reproachful look, "I said stop, why don't you listen..."

Lu Jin'an gently caressed her slender waist with his fingertips and softly said, "You said stop, but you lasted quite a while longer. Besides..."

"Besides what?"

"Tonight, you are even more beautiful than the moonlight."

Dongfang Xinglan lightly bit her glistening lower lip and suddenly pushed him away, walking into the house, "I'm hungry, let me get something to eat first..."

Lu Jin'an chuckled, turning to look at Zhiyu, who was biting into a meat bun nearby, and couldn't help but reach out to rub the little girl's head, "Did you enjoy the show?"

Zhiyu nodded vigorously, saying in a crisp voice, "Yes."

"Then go eat quickly. We need to set off once you finish eating."

"Okay~"

Zhiyu rushed into the house and yelled loudly just before kneeling onto a chair, "Stick out your tongue, Zhiyu remembers~"

Dongfang Xinglan, standing nearby, stiffened slightly and quickly picked up chopsticks to feed Zhiyu some food to silence her.

After watching the moon in the night sky for a while, Lu Jin'an stepped to Iron Hoof Cloud's side. He fed the mare an elixir to restore its strength and gently caressed its forehead, his pupils shimmering as his Divine Sense flowed.

'He is very important to me... extremely important...'

Dongfang Xinglan's voice seemed to echo in his mind. Lu Jin'an chuckled softly, removing his hand from Iron Hoof Cloud's forehead.

"There's nothing good to eat now, so just eat some Spirit Fruit first." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

While speaking, Lu Jin'an took out some Spirit Fruit and fed them to Iron Hoof Cloud. The mare's eyes showed some disappointment, as it had eaten these since it was young. Only upon arriving here did it discover that hay, grains, and moss were tasty too...

But after running for so long, it was indeed hungry, so it reluctantly ate the Spirit Fruit Lu Jin'an offered.

Lu Jin'an patted Iron Hoof Cloud's neck, then glanced at the inn's entrance, recalling Dongfang Xinglan's earlier nervous, trembling yet reassured gaze.

At that moment, her gaze indeed touched his heart, not seeming fake.

But...

As the figures of Nanzhi and Senior Sister flickered in his mind, he shook his head, smiling gently.

At least the moonlight tonight was truly beautiful.

After feeding Iron Hoof Cloud, Lu Jin'an led the horse to the inn's entrance and looked towards the south gate, asking, "Have you finished eating?"

"Yes!"

Zhiyu raised her hand joyfully and ran over. Lu Jin'an squatted down, wiping the greasy stains from her mouth, and spoke to Dongfang Xinglan who was also approaching, "The Shenmiao Dynasty has sent scouts over, so this city should be handed over to them."

Dongfang Xinglan murmured in acknowledgment and glanced at the rejuvenated Iron Hoof Cloud, "Find a carriage?"

"No need." Lu Jin'an lifted her directly onto the horse's back, "It's enough."

Then he placed Zhiyu in Dongfang Xinglan's arms and sat at the back, reaching for the reins.

With a neigh, Iron Hoof Cloud galloped along the route out of the city.

Outside the city lay mountains of corpses, emitting a heavy stench. Dongfang Xinglan glanced at the scene and whispered, "Were all these killed by you?"

"It was Zhiyu!" Zhiyu quickly answered, her face full of happiness and pride, "Zhiyu ate so many cakes~"

Dongfang Xinglan was taken aback. Killing and eating cakes... what was the connection?

However, she realized that Lu Jin'an's confidence stemmed from this seemingly silly little girl.

One person against a million troops... what kind of monster is this?

As this thought crossed her mind, Dongfang Xinglan couldn't help but turn back and ask, "Can she use Demon Energy?"

"No."

"Then why..."

"Capture the leader first when catching bandits." Lu Jin'an replied nonchalantly, "Slaughter the leaders, and what can an army do, no matter how large?"

Dongfang Xinglan pursed her lips, so the remaining army was slaughtered despite being 'insignificant'? This surprised her, thinking that a Saint Heir from a reputable sect would spare the ordinary aristocratic families.

It was somewhat similar to her own dealings with the royal family... leaving no room.

Dongfang Xinglan chuckled softly as Lu Jin'an continued, "But I let Li Xuanzhen escape."

"Hmm?" She paused for a moment but quickly understood, "You want him to keep looking for the Dragon Soul Treasure of the Land of Prosperity?"

"Right?"

"Aren't you worried he'll be too scared to continue?"

"Their only hope is this treasure now." Lu Jin'an said quietly, "And the forces behind him certainly won't just stop."

"I see..."
