Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 69 - 60: A Long Journey of the Mind, Enlightening a Lifetime

Chapter 69: Chapter 60: A Long Journey of the Mind, Enlightening a Lifetime

Under the moonlight, Mu Qingyue slightly tilted her head, revealing her elegantly contoured neck. The black cloth covering her eyes seemed to also be shrouded in a layer of silver glow, making it exceptionally striking.

But what caught Lu Jin’an’s attention more was what was between her lower lip and fingers.

Of course, Lu Jin’an knew what it was, and he believed that Senior Sister also knew.

Lu Jin’an admitted that it was the first time he felt a positive heartbeat for Senior Sister.

That time with the collar was entirely a frightful heartbeat.

Under the effect of the spell obstructing perception, only Lu Jin’an could see the scene before him.

And seeing Junior Brother silent, the blushing Mu Qingyue again approached her slender jade fingers with the tip of her tongue.

Then, she licked her lips and extended her hand towards Lu Jin’an. Her white and slightly pink jade-like hand was just like her lips.

Lu Jin’an lowered his head to look at her palm, soft and clear in texture, and the hem of his brocade robe seemed to rise on its own without a breeze.

Not missing any movement from Junior Brother, Mu Qingyue was completely at ease... Junior Brother liked it.

’My way.’

Mu Qingyue pursed her cherry lips. The collar gift she intended for Junior Brother before was too hasty; it should have been approached as she just did, slowly and steadily.

Once she secured Junior Brother’s future, he would have no way to escape her.

But initially, she didn’t think that way; it was merely a spur-of-the-moment decision after Junior Brother let her catch him.

And she happened to fit the conditions for holding the ’Ming Staff,’ which neither ’mother’ nor that Zhu Nanzhi could learn.

Lagging behind and wanting to progress, one must take bigger steps.

The effect was good.

Because Junior Brother moved, whether it was a heartbeat or something else, it showed that Junior Brother had feelings for her.

She felt the same way, but Junior Brother probably wouldn’t be like her with him.

Mu Qingyue raised her head again and slowly said, "Junior Brother, do you think the source hasn’t been cleaned up yet?"

As she spoke, she flipped her wrist to hold the back of Lu Jin’an’s hand: "There’s no one in that alley."

Lu Jin’an didn’t move, not just because the Sword Qi had been withdrawn, but also because he didn’t want to.

Zhu Nanzhi’s gift came after a pretend wedding half a year later when she was drunk, and Master’s candy came with the context of joining her sect.

Although his relationship with Senior Sister could be tied to childhood sweethearts, there wasn’t much emotional buildup before this.

Senior Sister liked him; otherwise, she wouldn’t have done this.

But he hadn’t reached that level yet.

Staring deeply at Mu Qingyue twice, Lu Jin’an reversed his hand to hold hers, finally taking a step forward, truly leading the blindfolded Sword Immortal Senior Sister.

Feeling the warmth of Junior Brother’s palm, Mu Qingyue obediently let him lead her... ’mother’ was right; she should go out more often.

However, she didn’t regret her past seclusion, because she believed that all the detours would ultimately return to the right path.

"Senior Sister, when did you start liking me?"

After a moment of silence, Lu Jin’an asked directly.

He knew in his heart that whether it was Nanzhi, Master, or Qingyue at this moment, the initial favorability was relatively high, so he could enjoy so many benefits.

But Lu Jin’an was very greedy.

He wanted not just benefits but also genuine affection.

The heart traveled far, connecting with one’s life.

Traveling physically without the heart, even the corpses would not suffice.

Mu Qingyue didn’t answer but said, "Not worse than ’mother,’ and I won’t lose to Zhu Nanzhi either.

I will let Junior Brother know my feelings."

Lu Jin’an thought Senior Sister understood the vague subtlety, not as direct as when giving the collar, probably because Master had said something to her.

So he didn’t pursue the question further; sometimes being too direct lost a lot of the feeling.

Mu Qingyue spoke again, finally returning to a normal topic: "I’ve heard from ’mother’ that Junior Brother, your ’Great Freedom Visualization Technique’ doesn’t have much Divine Soul Chapter recorded...

Now that you’ve harmonized, are you going to look for a Divine Soul Skill to learn next to perfect yourself?"

Lu Jin’an replied, "It’s a short-term plan."

The ’Great Freedom Visualization Technique’ indeed didn’t have much recorded on Divine Soul cultivation methods, not just because the spells for visualizing space-time were difficult, but also because this unperfected cultivation technique didn’t have many spells recorded beyond Harmonization for Divine Soul cultivation.

Thus, after Harmonization, Lu Jin’an could only continue walking forward on his own.

To perfect it, he must first gather the strengths of a hundred schools and then develop forward by integrating them into himself.

"Going to the Wanfa Pavilion?"

"Yes, I’ll check it out there first." Lu Jin’an continued to nod. "Do you have any recommendations, Senior Sister?"

Mu Qingyue shook her head: "I am a Sword Cultivator, junior brother you are not purely a Sword Cultivator, so I don’t have any recommendations; perhaps you could ask Master."

Lu Jin’an didn’t give it much thought: "I’ll check there first, and if not, I’ll see other places."

"Okay." Mu Qingyue didn’t say more, seeming to have returned to her cold and aloof nature, yet her grip on Lu Jin’an’s hand tightened a bit.

Strolling leisurely, they soon arrived at Yue Jun Clothing.

Half a month had passed, and the customer flow at Yue Jun Clothing was still scarce, but the silk stockings hadn’t been removed from the shelves despite not selling well.

The female shopkeeper was still playing the role of the server, but her voice was much bolder than half a month ago, and even her long skirt was short enough to reveal her calves, clearly showing her stockings.

"What are you looking at?" Sensing Lu Jin’an’s gaze shifting away, Mu Qingyue listened to the shopkeeper’s sales pitch and casually asked, "What are silk stockings?"

Lu Jin’an, who had stopped, blinked: "Even though you don’t use your eyes to see, Senior Sister, can’t you use Spiritual Power to feel it?

Haven’t you always ’seen’ like this?"

"Yes, and no." Mu Qingyue kneaded his thumb: "Besides direction, I only ’see’ you."

Lu Jin’an teased, "Don’t look at Master either?"

"Her, I know very well, I don’t need to ’see’."

"Alright then." Lu Jin’an didn’t press further and led Mu Qingyue into Yue Jun Clothing: "Let’s go take a look."

The female shopkeeper’s eyes lit up when she saw Lu Jin’an and Mu Qingyue approaching, ready to step up enthusiastically to pitch her sales.

If others knew that the Senior Brother of the Wandao Sect and Mu Jianxian had purchased silk stockings, wouldn’t those female cultivators still hold on to their modesty and purchase openly?

Moreover, if they could do the marketing within the Wandao Sect, she wouldn’t have to say a word, and countless people would flock to the silk stockings.

Everyday, she couldn’t get close to such prominent figures; now that they were right in front of her, she had to seize this opportunity well, so she could earn enough Spirit Crystals for several lifetimes and then settle permanently in Jing’an City to focus on cultivating her children—perhaps even a genius would enter the Wandao Sect in the future.

But as soon as she approached, she saw Lu Jin’an quickly change his appearance, and the female shopkeeper’s eyes widened. Wasn’t this the one who openly bought silk stockings before?

Turned out to be the Senior Brother of the Wandao Sect?

But the shopkeeper quickly understood that Lu Jin’an was here to discuss whether it was possible to coordinate the collaboration with the supplier as mentioned before.

So the shopkeeper tactfully didn’t make a fuss, instead deliberately changing the subject from the silk stockings and leading Lu Jin’an and Mu Qingyue inside, as Yue Jun Clothing didn’t exclusively sell silk stockings.

After some conversation, Lu Jin’an learned that the supplier happened to be in Jing’an City. He introduced the stockings to Senior Sister while letting the shopkeeper try to contact them.

It was even more coincidental that the supplier wanted to meet at Zuiyan Building.

Without wasting more words, Lu Jin’an took Mu Qingyue and left. Sensing that Mu Qingyue, who now understood what silk stockings were, wanted to buy some, he whispered in her ear, "I gave Master a pair last time, and there are some left. I’ll give you one later."

He clearly felt that Mu Qingyue’s aura turned colder, but acting as if he hadn’t noticed, he led her straight to Zuiyan Building.
