We meet again, enemies

s, the resentment I felt towards him lessened all at once.As soon as I stepped onto the second floor, I smelled a strange odor, like I had entered a vegetable market. It was a strong, fishy smell.Outs...Although the Star Jun is fierce, after getting to know him for a while, you'll find him kind of cute.

Like and dislike are easy to see on him.

He was flamboyant and unrestrained.

"...Thank you." I bowed to him.

"Humph." He snorted, picked up his tablet and continued lounging with his legs crossed on the table, ignoring me.

Jiang Qiyun followed me in, and asked coldly, "Why are you the only one"

"Hmph, you think everyone's like you, the Lord of the Underworld, doing whatever they please Doesn't Heaven need a roll call! Someone has to deal with nuisances like Miluo~!"

Mi Luo I seem to have met this fairy before, she appears to be a female immortal in charge in the Purple Forbidden Palace.

Jìdū Xīngjūn's personality type wouldn't take orders from anyone, I guess he wouldn't have a good face for all "management levels".

I quietly retreated to the side of the stairs, tiptoeing my way upstairs to see the children.

After just a few steps, Ji Dou Xingjun said, "Where on earth are you going You're nowhere to be found in the underworld, and you even sent Ye You Shen to check on the Shen family. Does this Star Jun have to be your mouthpiece"

"Something happened, I stayed overnight in the Qinghua Changle Realm." Jiang Qiyun replied with a rare good temper.

Perhaps seeing how much the master cared about Younan, his disciple truly was dedicated and responsible.

"Hmph, these two months, thousands of people have died in the human world, and the Underworld is so idle You can actually go to Qinghua Changle Realm to hang out!" Ji Dou Xingjun was furious, but didn't dare to make too much noise.

I almost slipped—two months

> I've been gone for two months already!

Haven't they seen me in two months...

I tiptoed up to the second floor. On the small table by the staircase, there was a sensor-activated mushroom night light.

As soon as he got close, the little mushroom lit up.

I was just about to reach out and push the door open when it creaked gently from inside.

A pair of dark and deep eyes, reflecting the warm glow of the little mushroom, were watching me from behind the door.

“You’re awake, Younan. Why aren’t you sleeping” I was a little surprised.

Younan wore a small Taoist robe lining, looking like a delicate and beautiful fairy boy.

He raised his hand and made a "hush" gesture, indicating for me to come in as he opened the door.

"I heard Master's voice... My little sister and brother are both asleep," Younan pointed to the inner room.

I hurried over to take a look. This carved wooden moon-shaped bed is really well-designed; it has railings on three sides, so children won't roll off the bed.

She was sound asleep on the rose-petal pillow in the middle, covered by a small quilt and curled up like a big Chinese character. Lan Xi, that little mischievous sprite, had already rolled to the edge of the bed, sleeping soundly through everything.

It looks like Younan is sleeping on the outermost layer.

The outermost layer of the moon-shaped bed was surprisingly a thick blanket, looking like it was to prevent a child from rolling off.

"I wouldn't come down... I've said it many times, don't stack this, but Qingrui won't listen, she insists on stacking it." Younan frowned and said.

Qing Rui Who Shen Qing Rui!

“Wasn't she...already badly injured, yet she insisted on coming to see me with her wounded body No matter what I said, she wouldn't listen. I had to reprimand her, telling her to stay behind and await orders with her remaining strength. Only then did she send her disciples instead… Mother, is that all she wants To prove herself worthy and return to the underworld to continue serving” Younan possessed a calmness beyond her years.

I chuckled softly, "Adults sometimes have unyielding obsessions. You're just a child, don't comment on them."

"The Underworld may not lack a maidservant, but the Shen family cannot be without an heir." Younan spoke with conviction.

I was taken aback. Yunan, this child, sometimes really can't be treated like a kid.

Children of other families this big still need to be coaxed to sleep with pee pads, but he already has little hands and feet standing tall.

I covered the two children with their blankets, picked up Younan, and sat on the mat outside.

"You've gained weight..." I whispered.

Younan blushed slightly: "The steward is always worried we won't be used to the food, and comes up with new ways to make vegetarian dishes every day. I could even eat a whole vegetarian lion's head now!"

"Look at how happy you are. At your Master Mu and Little Yin Luo's, everyone loves you dearly. And here, too." I kissed his cheek.

This kind of intimacy made Younan happy. Only at this time, he acted like a child, rubbing and acting cute in the arms of an adult.

"I don't even know what day it is anymore… how are things at home" I asked.

You Nan tilted his head and pondered for a moment: "The Shen family here has the Star God descending to protect them, so naturally, evil spirits dare not invade. As for my grandfather's side, there's the Mirage Dragon lurking in the lake. It is said that there are no plagues or evil spirits there either. It's quite good."

"......The celestial official of the Ji du Xing must really be good to you." I sincerely expressed my admiration.

This kind of personality, so arrogant and rebellious, even when playing games with my brother, he's never stayed this long. He actually helped me watch the child for this long, it's truly rare.

"My master has nothing better to do than make me practice swordplay every day, so my studies have…" He looked at me cautiously.

Jiang Qiyun followed him in, raising an eyebrow and saying, "What about your studies"

You Nan whispered, "Father, I haven't had time to look at the books you asked me to."

"Why Didn't I download all the historical texts and classic Taoist scriptures onto your tablet" I asked.

"My master was bored and wanted to kill time with my tablet."

What

"Did he go to look at the classic scriptures"

"It's not... it's Plants vs. Zombies."

“...”

Jiang Qiyun reached out and rubbed Younan's head, asking, "How is your sword practice going"

"The little kid's sword is no fun…" Younan muttered, fidgeting with her cheek.

But can you wield your master's sword What kind of sword would a child use

I patted my head, trying to recall what I had picked up from the Qingyu Taoist Temple—a wooden box containing a stack of note paper.

"It's said this was something my mother left behind at the Qingyu Daoist Temple. Take it and practice writing talismans... It's just the right size for you," I told Younan.

Yunan took both hands, nodded and said, "Master also taught me how to draw some talismans."

"I can teach you a few as well." Jiang Qiyun seemed to find it amusing. He picked up Younan, held him close, and pinched his fingers, drawing vaguely on a blank sticky note.

Formal painting requires a pure mind, clean mouth, and clean hands. One hand forms the seal while the other paints or writes, ideally completing it in one stroke. The secrets within are naturally incomprehensible to outsiders.

I watched the clouds rise over the river, such a rare and beautiful sight. I couldn't bear to miss it, so I got up and went to wash and change.

This disheveled state, after shuttling between the Demon Realm and the Qinghua Chang Le Realm, I find that so much time has passed in the human world.

I washed, dressed, and without time to rest, quietly went to shake the bell and woke the manager.

The manager rushed into the study wearing a cotton robe. He was surprised to see me, and while reporting on family affairs, he took out a binder from behind the bookshelf's safe.

A stack of letters was inside the folder.

"Master, the situation in the country is very dire. Fellow practitioners have come to seek you out and call for all schools and sects to set up exorcism arrays to cleanse impurities. However, we haven't heard from you, so we dared not agree. Some sects have chosen to retreat into seclusion and set up their own arrays."

"Well. Isn't that good Just obey the country's arrangements." I nodded.

"Hi, isn't this just... Some people are taking advantage of the situation to try and drag you down Saying that at such an important time, as a special advisor like you with no communication from the higher-ups, you've disappeared to who knows where, and there are even rumors that you went abroad to escape the epidemic—"

Rumors I frowned.e some scheme in place... It's really a dilemma."Besides, if I go myself, who will watch over Xiao Qiao during the day I wouldn't trust anyone else. At night, it's alright with her husband around..."...
